John 3:1-21
verse 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.
This is how I would like my life to be seen by others. My life should reflect my commitment to God in a way which can be recognized. The people with me in church on Sunday are not the “others” I am referring to. I would love to be part of an illustration of God’s love on earth. It is not recognition I am after, rather that my motives and my love of God be evident in my actions.
Holy One, I want to live my life in your light. Help me to reflect your light to others. Amen

Not that it is so difficult to understand, but that we Christians have done such a poor job at conveying the message of salvation in Christ. So many reject Christianity as a rigid belief system brimming with condemnation and hate for those who are not Christian. Mahatma Gandhi famously said, “I like like your Christ, but not your Christianity.” This is often a club used by skeptics but Gandhi, too, got it wrong. His real complaint was…
