Luke 8:16, Jesus teaches, "No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light."
This verse serves as a powerful reminder for your daily life. Just as a lamp is meant to illuminate a room and dispel darkness, you are called to let your light shine brightly in the world around you. You should not hide or suppress the gifts, talents, and blessings God has given you. Instead, you should use them to bring honor to God and bless others. In your workplaces, homes, and communities, be intentional about allowing Christ's light to radiate through your actions, words, and character. When you embrace this mindset, you become effective instruments of God's love and grace, igniting hope and inspiring transformation in the lives of those around you. May you always remember that you are called to be "lights" in a world shrouded in darkness.
