Living a Light-filled life

​9-28-23
Today's devotion is based on Mark 4:21-22: "Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is secret is meant to come to light."
Jesus is the light of the world, and he shines in our darkness. He reveals what is hidden in us; we cannot hide anything from him. We also are to be light. We can shine our light by speaking God's truth to others, even when it is difficult.
Here are some ways to live a light-filled life:

• Be honest and transparent with others.
• Be kind and compassionate, even to those who are difficult to love.
• Forgive those who have wronged you.
• Stand up for what is right, even when it is unpopular.
• Share the good news of Jesus Christ with others.

Don't hide your light. Let your light shine brightly so others can see the way to Jesus.
Please pray with me: Lord, help us to live light-filled lives. Please help us to be honest, kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Help us to stand up for what is right and to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. Amen.
