... do something from what you see.
Do something for someone who needs more than they asked for... one time I helped get a spicy pepper product for a lady in a wheelchair at Costco, and when she said “this is the only pepper to use when frying chicken” I spent the next 15 minutes getting her recipe. Just time being with her, hearing about her chicken-frying technique that made everything right in the world, just time hearing about the children she raised, the good times, clearly now farther apart in her older age.
I could smell that chicken. I could hear it crackle in the pan. She uplifted me. My light glowed from it.
When we walk with an open heart, we let the light in from all directions.
Jesus used a very clear metaphor for what we are when we follow Him, live in Him.
We are a town built on a hill. We are full of light, and always positioned through His intent to be a beacon to others. If we live in darkness, it doesn’t matter how high we sit on that hill. His sovereignty, His power, His glory goes unnoticed.
When we shine His light, we are saying “I am open to helping you. I am open to casting my light on your space, your life, to help you see your next step. To help you solve an immediate problem. To soothe a little anxiety with my light.” Because Jesus is kind.
