As I was praying, I heard the phrase, “children of the light”.
I heard God saying, “You are children of the light and I desire you to live as such. For I have not created you to dwell in darkness, but rather, you are to be like a light, shining atop a hill. For I have made you to shine light into this world. As you release My light into the world, the darkness trembles. So, allow My light to shine through you fully, and do not hide it under a bushel. For you have not been made to be a part of the world, but rather to reveal Me and My words to the nations of the world. So, shine forth the truth of My Word, allowing people to see clearly. For as you shine My light, people will see Me reflected in you. Do not be intimidated by the darkness around you, but rather be inspired to shine My light even more brightly. For My light penetrates through darkness.”
I was reminded of Matthew 5:14-16 – 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.
Ephesians 5:8 – For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.
Let us live as children of the light, shining God’s light and following His truth.
