(You Can Increase The Glory Of God In Your Life)
TO THE BIBLE: Colossians 3:10
“And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.”
LET’S TALK
As Jake and Mia walked home from school, Jake let out a sigh. “I feel so average,” he muttered. “Some people just seem to shine naturally, like they were born to stand out.”
Mia glanced at him and smiled. “You were made to shine,” she said. “Jesus said, ‘You are the light of the world.’”
Jake raised an eyebrow. “Okay, but how? I don’t exactly feel like I’m glowing.”
Mia chuckled. “The more you know God, the brighter you shine. His Word fills you with wisdom, confidence, and glory.”
The Bible says in Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
That means your life is supposed to stand out, to be a reflection of God’s glory. But how bright you shine is up to you.
Isaiah 60:1 says, “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” God’s glory isn’t just some far-off, unreachable thing—it’s in you!
Jesus even said in John 17:22, “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them…” God made you the expression of His glory.
Isaiah 60:1 says, “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” God’s glory isn’t just some far-off, unreachable thing—it’s in you!
Jesus even said in John 17:22, “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them…” God made you the expression of His glory.
The more you know God—through His Word, the more the glory in your life increases, and your efficiency, effectiveness and results multiply; your spirit is continually renewed, refreshed and polished.
Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” Fill yourself with His Word, and watch your life transform. So, how brightly do you want to shine? That’s up to you.
