It’s not about how brightly you glow, what you have to bring, how much or how little you feel you have to offer the world. The thing is, when you share yourself with the world, you are giving us a part of yourself. No one else can do that. No one.
Your light really does matter. YOU matter. You are loved.
14 “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. 15 If I make you light-bearers, you don't
think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting
you on a light stand. 16 Now that I've put
you there on a hilltop, on a light stand - shine! Keep open
house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others,
you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father
in heaven.” ~Matthew 5: 14-16 (The Message)
