Matthew 5:14-16
The Message
14-16"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. 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. 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.
I love how it tells me that I am here to be light! And that we need to go public with God and not keep him a secret. I especially like the ending, "Keep open house; be generous with your lives" that is huge! We have to welcome others in and take care of them!! It will show them to the Lord!!!
