Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand–shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. Anonymous
About This Quote

This is a beautiful quote. It speaks of the relationship between the Holy Spirit and us. The Holy Spirit is an undeniable force that helps us open up to God's love and forgiveness. We are all sinners, but we are also forgiven by God.

The Holy Spirit helps us accept that forgiveness. It works with us to keep our lives open -– always ready to extend that pardon for any who need it. The fact that the author of this quote called his book "Open House" shows how much he valued this connection with the Holy Spirit.
