Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” This is telling us that we are representing the most High God. What light do we have that is ours to shine? Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. So the image of God is the light in us that we must shine even thou we are sinners.

The world shines a light on us with an expectations and a demands we cannot live up to and one err and the light is turned off. The light of the world has a switch that is turned on and off. The light of God that shines through us without any expectations or demands draws people in with truth and righteousness and has no switch, it just keeps shine brighter once ignited by God. The enemy tries its best to turn it off such a light in you, but can only dim it, never completely turn it off. Only the light of God can out shine even light itself, it’s a light beyond any other.

The light that shines on you ( the world’s light) can never be compared to the light that shines through and on you, the light of God. When God shines a light on you people can’t help, but notice you. And when his light is within and on you everything you do and says draws a multitude of people to you. The light is not shining to glorify you, even though some people(servants of God) get caught up in themselves forgetting form where their light originated.
