We are all uniquely different but reflect a common light. Our kitchen window faces west, and every afternoon, the foliage is transformed into glowing, green candles as the sun illuminates the plants.
It’s an awesome sight! I’m reminded that we were designed to reflect the Light of the World as He shines on us and most brilliantly through us. Light shining on us can be beautifully reflected, but light shining through us is spectacular. That’s how we can be a spectacle to a world that often struggles in darkness. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
Let’s reach out today to someone in our world and joyfully glow in sharing an uplifting light. Let it be in word and deed. May it be music to the ears and soothing balm to the wounded souls.
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32)
