Let Your Light Shine - Matthew 5

S - Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
O - Jesus is talking to the disciples hear and explaining that they are to let their light shine so that others may see the Father and worship Him.
A - This is something that I need to daily remind myself. I can not only be a nice person and treat people well but I need to go above and beyond that. The light in darkness is such a contrast; so too needs to be my actions that they vividly contrast what the world is doing. There are a lot of nice unbelieving people in the world but I should stick out and everyone should take notice as my actions are even so much more noticeable. However, the key to this is not that people will see these actions and words and think good of me but to instead wonder what I have and ultimately worship God.
P - Father, I desire to be near you and hear you daily. Help me to shine my light so brightly and without fear to bring you honor and glory. Help me to instill that same desire in my children so that they too may bring you glory and affect people's lives.
