God is light. Jesus came to reignite the light that had gone out. Now He entrusts you with the very same task He had when He walked the earth: to be the light of the world; to take an initiative, pray and show God’s love—and thus flick on a spiritual light switch so God’s power can be released into the world.

Too many Christians think they are unable to let their lights shine and make a difference for God in their reality. Most of the time the problem lies not in theory nor in theology. Most Christians recognize that Jesus calls them the light of the world in the Gospel of Matthew, and they have may have heard a message or two about it but still lack the confidence and boldness to put that calling into practice. Why?
As a pastor for almost four decades, and especially after having worked with young people for most of that time, I know from experience that much of the problem stems from a belief that only a certain kind of person—an ideal Christian with a distinct personality—has the ability to shine for God. It is so easy for us to paint a picture in our mind of this “super Christian” person with no faults and challenges, elevated high above the rest of us. And if you don’t recognize yourself in that perfect image your mind has created, it is also easy to assume that “shining the light” is not for you. You assume you lack whatever is needed and subconsciously disqualify yourself from even the remote possibility that you could be the person who flicks the light switch and makes a difference for Jesus.

3 Keys to Unleash Your Light
Oh, how I wish there were a button I could push to instantly and supernaturally set you free from this devastating lie! If we would only see the truth—that all of us are created to shine, that all of us have the ability in Christ to do so, and that all of us have been entrusted with a unique type of light that only we can shine in our unique world—then the church would become a Jesus revolution, the gospel would sweep the earth and the kingdom of God would flourish.
