Shine with your God color

We are in the midst of pride month and now is the time for us to shine.In the political world we live in today, we might feel vulnerable and want to hide our rainbow light. But Jesus says in Matthew 5:You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors 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 hide 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.We all have a light to shine.Who we are in our multiple identities is a work of God’s creation. God made you who you are, beautiful and wonderful, and we are invited to shine with that light.I love the phrasing of this translation: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.What is your God color? What is the particular part of the light spectrum that shines from you?Beam with that God light.Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine Get full access to TransPreacher at transpreacher.substack.com/subscribe
