It’s time to shine!

The Lord Jesus taught that we are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14). However, He reminds us in verse 16 that we need to let our light shine before men. So this is actually not an automatic process. We can actually hide our light which displeases our Lord. When we choose to let our light shine, people will begin to see “our light”. It’s interesting to note that the light that people actually see is our good works. This means that our life work reveals something to the world. Light reveals things that were previously hidden from view. So our godly works reveal God’s goodness and love to those around us who hadn’t seen it before. It causes them to glorify our Father in Heaven. So it’s vital that we determine to let our light shine instead of hiding our light. It’s time to shine people!!!

Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”
