Instead, we are to let the light of His love and grace shine so brightly through us, that we light up the darkness that is in the world. Live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8)!

 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.  — 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV) God is always looking for people who are fully committed to Him. He doesn't want lukewarm, middle of the road believers. Revelation 3:16 says, “because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth (Revelation 3:15-16). Let us be on fire for the LORD and passionate about fulfilling His purpose in our lives. Amen!
