Shine the Light

As believers we are to be witnesses to the world. We are to put aside our whining and start shining. We shine by living a godly life in an ungodly world. A person in our world who truly models integrity, whose life is characterized by goodness and righteousness and truth – a person who demonstrates a real love and forgiveness – a person who doesn’t return evil for evil but gives a blessing instead – that person is going to shine.

Now some people may shy away from the light, but they can’t help but notice it. Our light must shine in the midst of this dark world.

A Christian who isn’t committed to growing in godliness is going to dim the light. A believer who isn’t wholeheartedly following the Lord, isn’t going to appear as a shining light to others.

We don’t want to dim the light of Christ. We want it to shine through our lives as brightly as possible.
