1 Peter 2:9 "You can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
What does it look like to "show others the goodness of God?" I am not one to walk around with an everlasting smile on my face all day long, I've never been that type, but he older I get, the more I learn about human needs and the trials of this life. Because of this awareness, I try to be very sensitive to people because you just never know what's going on in someone's life. This scripture talks about God calling us out of darkness and into the light. Once you truly experience "darkness" and "God's light" you'll never doubt what God's power and love can do, in and for you. Making sure that others see God through you is as easy as simple as keeping a smile on your face, even when you don't have much to smile about; uttering a kind work, even when you want to use some choice curse words; or just sharing a kind gesture, even when life is not being so kind to you! Life will never be perfect for any of us but we have to hold on to our faith that God will always be there to see us through. While he's working things out in your life, start walking and talking in faith, showing others how much you trust and believe. When people see you, they'll see God's light, and they'll want some of it in their lives too!
