You will be a light to guide the nations. – Isaiah 42:6(NLT)
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you commit your life to Jesus Christ
You are expected to shine your light
He is the one who guides all nations
He makes you strong to fight temptations.
When you make God first in your life
You will definitely walk in his light
He shines his glorious radiance on you
He wants you to exude it to others too.

One of the ways that a true believer is apparent is how they live their lives. You can see how they manifest the fruits of the spirit such as love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22). One of the best ways we can attract others to Jesus is by living a life of integrity, obedience to his will and faithful devotion to seeking his truth. In John 1:5 we know that the light exposes darkness as it shines through it. Darkness cannot hide in the light Even just a tinge of light will compromise the total blackness of it.
All believers are commissioned by God to preach the Good News and to make disciples of all nations. When we obey his commands and spread his word, we are the light that guide all nations and we are also manifesting the true character of the Lord Jesus Christ.
