“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” — Matthew 5:14-15 (NIV)
In a world filled with uncertainty, brokenness, and hopelessness, Jesus calls us to be the light that shines His love, grace, and hope to those around us. Light brings clarity, warmth, and guidance, and as followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to illuminate the path for others. Being a light is not just about the words we say but the way we live—reflecting God’s character through our actions, showing kindness, and offering hope where it’s needed most.
When we allow God’s light to shine through us, we create a space where others can find healing, encouragement, and restoration. We don’t have to be perfect; we just need to be willing vessels, letting His love flow through us and reaching out to those who are lost, weary, or in darkness. Remember, it’s God’s light in us that shines, not our own, and when we walk closely with Him, His light will naturally pour out and illuminate the world around us.
