As long as you have the light, believe in the light so that you might become people whose lives are determined by the light.” After Jesus said these things, he went away and hid from them. Jesus had done many miraculous signs before the people, but they didn’t believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of the prophet Isaiah: Lord, who has believed through our message? To whom is the arm of the Lord fully revealed? Isaiah explains why they couldn’t believe: He made their eyes blind and closed their minds so that they might not see with their eyes, understand with their minds, and turn their lives around—and I would heal them. Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory; he spoke about Jesus. Even so, many leaders believed in him, but they wouldn’t acknowledge their faith because they feared that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. They believed, but they loved human praise more than God’s glory. (John 12:36-43, CEB)
As long as you have light, share that light. Do not love the praise of others more than doing what God has called us to.
That, my friends, is the trouble with the world today. We want the likes. We want the shares. We want people to notice us and remember us. We try to puff ourselves up when that isn’t what life is about.
Life is about being the light in a world that needs love.
Life is about looking out for the other, rather than worrying about yourself.
Life is about helping the unseen be seen, rather than making ourselves more seen.
Be the light.
Share the love.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
