LOVE LETTERS|DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SINGLES|DAY 40

Scripture for Today

Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. (ESV)

In our yesterday's devotional we talked about giving out love even to people who don't deserve it. Loving the unlovable can be a tough thing if you are yet to understand who God has called you to be. 

God has called us as His own children to be lights of the world. This world is filled with darkness and it is filled with so much hate and anger. Children are angry, wives are angry, employers are angry, the employees are angry, husbands are angry and so on. People are beginning to wonder if there is really a God. Someone called me one day and asked "Gabby, is there really a God up there?". He had been through so many turbulent times he was confused. The darkness of this world had enveloped him so much he couldn't see a good God in the situation. Of course he didn't end that call the way he started it.

God has called us to be the answers to the questions of people on earth. We as believers are to shine forth anywhere we find ourselves. We are all called to live a life of influence. A life of positive impact and enrichment. The world will be a better place if we stand out to do the work that our father has called us to do.

Shine your light even in an hopeless situation, shine your light even when the world is so dark, shine your light and do not conform to the standards of the world. Shine your light even when all you get is hate. Shine your light even when no one is watching. Shine you light even when the world wants to quench it all.

Prayer: Father, thank you for calling me out of the world to give hope and light to the world.
