“Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop?”
(Matthew 5:14, the Passion Translation)

We have God’s light within us. We have the bright flame of Truth in our hearts, and we can let this light shine in our lives.

We may feel that we aren’t doing much to make a dent in the troubles of the world or that our contributions pale in comparison to others. We may believe our own human challenges keep us from being good examples, from being upbeat all the time, and that we have too much doubt and fear ourselves to be that beam of light that this verse refers to.

But your life lights up the world not because of your human perfectness, but by your right desires. In fact, the more that we seek to be better, the more that light within gets reignited and its energy and reach expand. Self-doubt may seem to hide our lights from ourselves, but when we truly believe in goodness; when we consciously choose to trust God to lead us and teach us; when our motive is to be a blessing to others and to express love, our lives have a glow that can’t be hidden.

For this light isn’t our personal candle. It is God’s love in us, lifting us up moment by moment and making sure that His healing Love reaches others, reminding them of their own light and encouraging them also to share it without timidity, without fear, and with gratitude for its powerful Source.
