God desires our lives to be bright. The world needs nothing so much as light; no light blazing in the far-off sky but light pouring out softly, low down, close by, from human lives which have been kindled at the heart of God. The aim of the gospel of Christ is to make human lives bright with the brightness of God's own holiness. There is a word in one of Paul's letters which puts this truth in the form of an exhortation: (Romans 12:2) "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
[J.R. Miller]
