LET IT SHINE

By David Brandt Berg

 

So many people today are lost, lonely, downtrodden, weak and weary, poor and persecuted, victims of war and crime and exploitation. They are the ones nobody wants, the ones who have so little and seem to count so little in man’s scheme of things.

Then there are those who are well off materially and appear to “have it together,” but are lost and lonely prisoners of their own selfish desires and misplaced priorities. They are weary and heavy laden with problems, stress, fears, and phobias. They wear smiles but ache inside. They fear the future. They are engulfed in emptiness, pain, guilt, bitterness, condemnation, and remorse.

There are so many lost and desperate folks in the world today! It’s like the question in that old Beatles’ song, “Eleanor Rigby,” “All the lonely people, where do they all come from?” Well, I’ll tell you where they come from. They come from a world that has selfishly turned from the light of God’s love and is being swallowed up by the darkness.

There is a great need for His love to shine through. Hold it up for all to see. Shine the light of God’s love on people, and He will do the rest. He’ll cause it to accomplish His purpose in their lives (John 12:32). Let others see Jesus in you!
