We have a couple more weeks before we put our clocks back an hour. Time, throughout the ages, has been measured by the light of the sun. Historically, humanity has used the light of the sun to measure and evaluate a variety of things. In the ancient days, the light of the sun was used to determine the quality of pottery. A wise purchaser of the pottery held the vessel into the light of the sun to determine if there were any cracks, including glued cracks. Cracks decreased the value of fine pottery.
Likewise, the abiding Light of love reveals authenticity. The Apostle Paul described this process: so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ Philippians 1:10

so that you may approve the things that are excellent,: Self-evaluation is not always easy. Even so, we must determine if our thoughts, words, and action are derived by authentic love. In other words, we must evaluate if God is present in our thinking, speaking, and behavior.
The Light of love reveals the value within our thoughts, words, and actions. How we live is ultimately our message.
Take time to evaluate your thoughts, words, and actions through the Light of love. Prioritize your response in life through the Light of love.
in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ: Sincerity is the antithesis of hypocrisy, which is revealed by the abiding love of God. Love produces integrity with the desire to live in purity.
