Let your light shine

Many people are fascinated with the dark deeds of this world, but that is no longer the case with you. The Holy Spirit has shined His light of Truth into your heart and has enabled you to see Jesus (John 15:26).

Now He continues to shed His light in your life through the Word, for the Bible is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our paths (Psalm 119:105).

Jesus is also the living Word and the light of this world. That is why He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12, ESV).

Keep following the light of Truth that is in the Word so you don’t fall into wickedness and devastation.  

In Matthew 5:14, Jesus also explained that we are the light of the world. Why? Because we have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us, shining in and through us like a lamp.

This light is shining through our eyes, ears, mouths, heads, hands, feet, stomach, and back. As a result, the people who are being lured into darkness are seeing our light.

Fortunately, these unsaved individuals will be able to make a rational decision as to whether or not they want to be saved.

Final thought

Even though you live in this dark world, do not yearn for the evil desires that are publicized everywhere, because if you invite darkness into your holy temple (body), it will be like pouring water or dirt on a candle (1 Thessalonians 5:19).

Instead, the Lord wants you to keep your light shining by obeying His Word and being an upright witness for Him.
