In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:4-5
Let your light shine
Set it on a hill that all can see
Do not let it dim, keep it lit, keep the brightness of His presence
The works He has done in you, show to all
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
He cleanses, He clarifies, He makes anew
As He purifies, His light will light shine brighter in you
Some will be drawn to the light, others will shy away
Let it shine nevertheless
Never hide what you have
Never hide who you are
And most of all, never hide who Jesus is
If you know Him, share Him, lift Him up for all the world to see
He cannot be hidden or suppressed
Not everyone will like you
Not everyone will be drawn to Him through you
Keep shining, keep glowing
Those who respond to His light in your life will have to reconcile their choice
You are a witness of His death and resurrection
You cannot help how others respond
You can encourage them, you can speak the truth, but the choice is up to them
The knowledge of truth cannot deny that God gives the ability to reflect His light
One day, we all will see His glorious beauty in His fulness
His Holiness is the most glorious light
It is too remarkable for the flesh
And will remain hidden from us as we walk on this Earth
We will only see in part
The sun shall be no more thy light by day;
neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee:
but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Isaiah 60:19
