“And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven” (Acts 9:3).
Throughout the month of March we have focused on the need for God’s “Redemptive Light.” Jesus, the true Light came to the world to meet that need. Once we are freed from the powers of darkness, He fills us with His Spirit so we can be a light for others to find their way to God.
One ofthe best examples of God’s redemptive light is found in the conversion of Saul. He persecuted Christians. He stood by as Stephen was stoned. He was sincere in what he thought and believed, but he was sincerely wrong. Once he saw the light, he was never the same. He went on to become one of God’s choicest servants. If you have been illuminated by God’s marvelous Light, you know the transformation that has taken place.
With the light of His love flowing through you, you can make a difference in your world. Paul certainly did. Paul accomplished much for God’s glory. He never missed a chance to share his personal testimony. You have the gospel to share and your testimony to give. Will you use them to shine for Jesus?

PRAY TOGETHER: Missionary Jim Elliott said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” Are you striving to give more than to keep? Make this a matter of prayer.
