We are called to shine like stars in an increasingly dark world, (Phillipians 2:15).
We carry the light of the world in us when we believe in Jesus because He is 'the light that shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it, (John 1:5).
The world cannot understand why we choose not to do as they do, and instead endeavour to love one another - and even love our enemies.
They do not understand why we choose not to behave in a depraved manner, but try to keep ourselves 'clean'.
They do not understand why we turn our backs on things that this world reveres and tries to own - yet still feel empty, but instead turn to our Saviour Jesus Christ for our needs.
They do not understand why we don't get pleasure from worldly things, but find joy in knowing our Lord.
But we are the sheep of His pasture, and we follow our shepherd's voice because He laid down His life for us. This is why we actively listen for His voice - not theirs.
So, when you hear his voice, answer his call and live in love, peace and hope, no matter what the situation, and shine like stars in the darkness.
This is how I understand my God, Read for yourself, see what you think.
