But those who do what is right come to light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. -John 3:21
Our Christian walk is not meant to be lived privately behind closed doors. We are called to live authentically and honestly, drawing near to the light of Jesus. Our actions demonstrate a life committed to the truth and integrity of the Word of God. Doing what is right and living by the truth means that, as believers, we live honestly and with integrity. Our lives are becoming a living testimony for the world to see that we are children of the Most High God. There is nothing hidden in our lives that the enemy has been allowed to control.
We willingly come to the light so that others can see our good deeds because the old man is done away with. We strive daily to be who God has called us to be. We are transparent with our lives, bringing everything before the public and for God to see. Our chief desire is to please God because we love Him. It's because of this love for the Father that we draw nearer to His Son. All we truly want is to glorify God with our lives. Being transparent with our good deeds before men is not self-promotion or even boasting in ourselves. It's a testimony to God's grace that we can live a life that is by God's will. Our lives should be a light before men, encouraging them to pursue a relationship with the Father just as we have.
Beloved, don't hide the light of Jesus Christ before men. Come to the light so that others can see your good works before the Lord. You may be the only Jesus in your sphere of influence. Don't look at what has been done in the past. Know that you are a child of God and you are a new creation. Live boldly in the light!
Prayer
Father, help us to always live in truth and come into the light. May our lives be shining examples of your will. May we inspire others to live lives of honesty and integrity. May be lead others to the light. In Jesus's name. Amen
