# Be the Light He Called You to Be

Good morning, everyone!

Somewhere today, someone is sitting in darkness. Not the darkness of night, but the darkness of despair, confusion, fear, or hopelessness. They're drowning in doubt. They're lost. They're looking for a reason to believe that things can get better.

And God is asking you to be their light.

Matthew 5:14-16 says, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

You were not called to hide. You were not called to dim your light so others feel comfortable in their darkness. You were called to shine. Boldly. Unapologetically. Faithfully.

But here's the challenge: **The world will try to stop you.**

It will whisper that you're not qualified. That you're too broken, too flawed, too ordinary. That your faith is outdated. That speaking truth is judgmental. That serving others is naive. That pursuing God's plan for your life is foolish. The world will do everything it can to extinguish your flame.

Don't let it.

Jeremiah 29:11 promises, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." God has a purpose for your life. Not the world's purpose. Not culture's purpose. *God's* purpose. And it is good.

Whatever you are called to be—a teacher, a parent, a friend, a witness, a healer, a voice for the voiceless—be it fully. Be it courageously. Be it in faith. Don't let fear stop you. Don't let criticism silence you. Don't let the enemy convince you that your calling doesn't matter.

2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." You have been equipped. You have been anointed. You have been sent.

Today, someone needs your light. They need your kindness. They need your courage. They need to see Christ reflected in you. Will you answer the call?

**Don't let the world dim your light. Be who God created you to be. Shine for His glory.**

The darkness cannot overcome the light.

**Go forth and illuminate the world. **
