You are a light

Has it never dawned upon you that the essence of
witnessing is just plain honesty? You are salt -
whether you feel like it or not. You are not
told to act like salt but to be what you are. You
are a light. God has done a work in your life.
Don't try to shine. Let the light that God put
there shine out. It demands no more than honesty.
It demands honesty before unbelievers. In fact such
honesty is ninety per cent of witnessing. Witnessing
is not putting on a Christian front as to convince
prospective customers. Witnessing is just being
honest, that is, being true to what God has made you
in your speech and everyday behaviour.
