May 6 - Live In Hope...Be A Light!

Always remember that out of the darkest clouds, a rainbow can break through. Out of the blackest night, the milky way bursts across the sky. Sunrises are more spectacular when there are clouds in the sky. Joy is more joyful when the heart has also known sadness. It’s life. It’s your life. You can choose to live in the light and be a light!

Matthew 5:14 - Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. (The Message)
