“Here’s another way to put it: 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." (Matthew 5:14-16 MSG)
You must receive grace to keep an open house and life. A life that will accommodate people regardless of their background, nationality and age. You must keep open arms that are devoid of criticism. Being judgemental does not help anyone, and when there is need to correct; do it in love. Be generous with your life. Share your life with people. Strive to be open in your dealings with people. By being plain and honest in your dealings with them, you will prompt them to be plain and honest with God.
ACTION PLAN: In all your dealings with others, be honest and open.
PRAYER: Father, make me a person of honesty and integrity.
