Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. — Matthew 5:16

As Christians, we are not supposed to cut ourselves off from the rest of the world. We are not meant to live alone or as monks. Instead, we should realize that we live in a dark world and try to be light. We shouldn’t be like little candles hidden in a bedroom, but like candles on stands that everyone can see, or like cities on hills that can’t be hidden. Our goal isn’t to get people’s attention, but to help them see the amazing grace of our Father.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that my actions today and every day will benefit others, so that they will have a clearer understanding of you and your love. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
