Reflecting on this week’s sermon, I was drawn to a small book devotional by Charles Stanley titled “On Holy Ground“. His message parallels the sermon where he encourages us to be lights in a world of darkness.

God calls us to be lights in a world of darkness. However, we can never forget that He is our Source of light. Without the light of His presence we become dull and colourless.

 

Christ said, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16 NASB).

The true colours of God’s nature are re-leased within us by spending time in His Word. If we fail to read and study His principles, our lights will never reflect the brilliance of His love, forgiveness, and grace to others. We must have contact with the Father of Lights in order for our light to have purpose.

“Precious heavenly Father, the true colours of Your nature were reflected in Your Son, who came to this earth to share Your light. Let my life be a reflection of Your divine gift of love.”
