Malachi 4:2  KJV  "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;  and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."

Interpretation based on the following study:  Shine forth, show and announce the good news in full submission, showing proper respect and honor to God in worship.  Be under His authority, identified with Him as His permanent possession, reflecting His likeness in resemblance after His character.  Having been made right by God's defense, surrounded by His protection, and brought into special relationship with Him, He cleared you of all charges and pronounced you innocent.  He healed and restored you to soundness and made you wholesome to become His permanent possession.  Being well fed and nourished by Him to fully develop into His likeness, to become fruitful, resting in His safety, care and refreshment, remain serviceable for His use, to be wholeheartedly and absolutely devoted to God in service and ministry, in His will.
