Ephesians 5:8 "Since you have become the Lord's people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light."
Driving to work, I passed a small roadside pond filled with muddy water. Assorted litter surrounded it. What caught my eye, though, was the sun shining on the gorgeous pair of ducks floating in the middle of the pond. In the midst of garbage but surrounded by sunlight, these two beautiful creatures didn't seem at all perturbed.
If only we could be like those ducks! In a perfect world, there would be no garbage or trash; but sadly, our world is not perfect. Negativity, temptation, and downright ugliness are all around.
How can we reflect God's light in this imperfect world? By making God the center of our lives, we can resist temptations and concentrate on developing a spirit of grace, love, and goodness that radiates to everyone we meet. We will never achieve perfection, but by doing the best we can to live the way of Jesus Christ, we can be a shining example to others in an otherwise tarnished world.
