Transparency

Light is mentioned in the Bible so often, it seems the imagery is really hard to miss. God wants us to be light, to be seen, to be witnesses, to be transparent.

Transparent? But isn't that revealing? Isn't that ......scary?

No human being on earth is capable of understanding our Heavenly Father. We must seek Him, learn of Him, and follow His commands. We must believe, repent, and obey.

Living a transparent life is your best take on following Christ. Everyone will fail to meet God's standard, but He calls us to obedience. Obedience is desired.

I think the world is noticing some light from a young man who seems to be astonishingly transparent. You've heard of him, a young quarterback who grew up the son of missionaries.

He's human. He will make mistakes. He will fail.

But isn't it refreshing to see someone so clearly in love with Jesus?

There is nothing wrong with seeking to be open, to be light in this ever darkening world.

Dare to be transparent, to live a life worth being open about.

Let your light shine!
