You are the light of the world.
Matthew 5:14
~
From Matthew 5, The Message
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?”
“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you, … do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine!”
“Be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”
For Renni, my mentor, who is generous with her life. She reflects God’s light and brings out the God-flavors and the God-colors in the world.
