The power of God’s light consists not only in shining, but also in leading those who want to follow Him. We all need to help all those around us to come closer to God, to the Light.

We should consider whether our friends and colleagues are truly spurred on to glorify God when they see the way we act. Can they see the light of Christ in us? Do they feel the urge to improve their own lives, when they realize that we actually practice what we tell them?

We cannot allow Christ's light to lie hidden in us. We must let it shine forth in our behavior in the world's sight as well as in God's. It is not enough just to talk; we must also act. Those who see us will believe our actions more than any speech. They will feel attracted to the kind of life our actions reveal.
