Renewed, Not Hidden

Scripture: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Matthew 5:14 (ESV)

Devotional: God doesn’t draw us close so that we can disappear from the world: He restores us so that His light can be seen through our lives. Renewal is never meant to end in isolation.

Jesus spoke these words to ordinary disciples who were still learning how to follow Him. This tells us that light doesn’t require perfection, it requires presence.

As God heals and renews us, something begins to change. Hope returns. Purpose awakens. What was once dim begins to glow again, sometimes quietly, sometimes slowly, but truly.

Reflection: In what ways has God been restoring light in your life, even gradually or quietly?

Prayer Direction: Ask God to continue His renewing work in you. Invite Him to let His light shine through your everyday faithfulness.
