Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16b

Are you an introvert or extrovert? Extroverts are energized by interacting with others, while introverts reenergize during time alone. No matter how God wired you, you have light to shine through your personality.

Extroverts shine light by inviting others into conversation. They are known as warm, encouraging, and cooperative. Introverts shine light by listening well. They are often thoughtful, caring, and wise. Either way you are wired, you have a lot to offer.

When we embrace our natural wiring toward introversion or extroversion, we shine light into others’ lives. God both invites and listens. We reflect His glory when we use our unique gifts to honor Him.

Lord, thank You for shining Your light through my personality. Amen.

Reflect: Offer the best part of your personality in community today. Listen well or invite someone to talk.

Read: Ephesians 4:29 and James 1:19
