Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours 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 hid 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.
— Matthew 5:16

“Reaching For The Light”
A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
There’s a Light that’s deep within me
The Light that sets me free
A little bit of heaven that is my soul
A little bit of heaven that makes me whole.
Lord, let me Love another
Become a sister and a brother
Your heavenly Light bestir my fellow souls
Your little bit of heaven make us whole.
’Neath your wondrous sun-lit bower
Every minute, every hour
Help us manifest your Goodness and your Love
Help us, Lord, do all beneath that is above.
