Rise and Shine

"What does God’s radiance look like? When the load of guilt is removed from a person’s shoulders, the frowns of worry begin to disappear. When the promise of life eternal is embraced, the light of hope fills the eyes. When the beauty of grace is apprehended, a quiet smile of inner satisfaction lightens the countenance. When the Lord becomes a present reality in the believer’s life, the heart begins to glow with His passion.

When this happens, people notice and are attracted. Isaiah said, 'All nations will come to your light. Mighty kings will come to see your radiance' (60:3). People from all walks of life will be drawn to the people who have risen and are shining. For they, too, are looking for life and beauty, hope and gladness..."
