Give yourself to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will help you;
he will make your righteousness shine like the noonday sun.
(Psalm 37:5-6 GNT)
The light of the Lord shining through us comes directly from Him. It is not something we create on our own. The more we commit our lives to Him and trust Him in all things, the more He allows His light to shine brightly through us.
As we shine the light of the Lord, we proclaim His love and mercy to the world. When we give ourselves to Him completely, trusting in Him, He makes our righteousness shine like the sun!
"Consider the life you live - how do other people perceive your faith? While God doesn't expect you to live in perfection, He desires that you would do all you can to shine forth His light so others will see Him clearly." - Paul Chappell
