Righteous shine forth:

Matthew 13:43
43 “Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

            One day, when He returns, we will shine forth as the sun. Right now, most of us either have our “Sonshine” overshadowed by the dark clouds of unbelievers in our everyday lives, or we choose to not let it be seen for whatever reason. When this time mentioned comes, there will be no darkness left in His kingdom to overshadow us. We will shine forth as the Son.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are My children, and as such you are the lights of the world. They can see how to come unto Me when you walk as lights to them. They will know Me and how to find Me as you lead them into My paths of righteousness. Walk in My light, and you will be a light to the nations. You are My special ones, and you will shine forth as beacons in a time of storm for all those who perish,”

            72. I am righteous because of Him in me, and I will shine forth in the Kingdom of my Father.

            Truly His desire and our destiny is our sanctification. Why try to fight it? Why try to keep living the way we did before becoming a Christian? It is for our benefit, not our harm to live a sanctified life. Too many people think that means giving up all our “fun” activities. When we walk with Him, we realize that what we thought of as fun isn’t all that great. We can live quite happily without those activities that are displeasing unto Him. It’s your destiny … live it!
