Into the Light

I lived much of my life believing that Christian faith was a private matter, something I kept to myself or spoke of only when in the comfortable company of like believers. I failed to recognize then that one of my principal responsibilities as a Christian was to live and act as a representative of God. I came to this understanding after absorbing a lesson about the passage John 3:21 : “But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”

Since that day I’ve held the new belief that while my faith is indeed a personal matter, it can in no manner of speaking remain a private matter. Since that day, step by deliberate step and at an ever-increasing pace, I have been moving into the light, evidenced by the opening of my mouth to profess my faith as often as possible. I pray you are or will soon do the same. All beggars love the fellow beggar who shares where the bread can be found!
