Doctrine and Covenants 45: 9-10

 

How are you able to let your light shine into the world?

"9 And even so I have sent mine everlasting covenant into the world, to be a light to the world, and to be a standard for my people, and for the Gentiles to seek to it, and to be a messenger before my face to prepare the way before me.

10 Wherefore, come ye unto it, and with him that cometh I will reason as with men in days of old, and I will show unto you my strong reasoning." (Doctrine and Covenants 45: 9-10)

And here's the commentary entitled: "The gospel is a standard to the nations." : 

"Anciently, a standard was a banner carried into battle used to rally and unify troops. A standard is also an example or rule that other things can be measured against. As you read Doctrine and Covenants 45:9–10, ponder how your covenants with the Lord have been a standard for you."

My covenants with the Lord have been a standard for me in the way I think about myself and others, the way I communicate, and the way I act. As I strive to keep my covenants I am able to live the gospel and let my light shine. 

Elder De Hoyos said our light grows as we do those three things he suggested we can do to be a light unto the world. We do want our light to grow, don't we?
