In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 When I was growing up, we lived some distance from town. At that time, most people did not have outside lights, so at night, the drive to town was almost total darkness. Since the area where I grew up had lots of hills, there was nothing more enjoyable than cresting a hill and seeing little spots of light spread out in the inky blackness before us. It was comforting to look out the car window and see all those lights. Today, I still enjoy coming over the top of a hill at night and seeing the lights of a city in the distance. God says that we are lights in a dark world. We are to shine so that the world can see. We are to bring comfort and joy as people pass through this life.
