When our hearts change and we have tasted the peace that comes from the Lord you want everyone to experience it because it is not like anything in the world. That love for people helps them see that there is something different about us and it draws them to seek the Father in Heaven. Our attitude is what people want to see different in us. When we look like the world and act like the world we are not the light that shines but something that repels instead.
It is important to remember what Jesus says in Matthew chapter 5 verse 14, “You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a blanket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.” We need to study and grow so we can’t help but shine like Christ. Being different is what draws people to the Father because we walk the talk and that is what people are looking for.
Chapter 5 verses 46-48 say, “If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pegans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Strive to be better every day and never be satisfied with what you know, God wants us to ask so ask and know that He is always there. Amen
