Matthew 5:14-16 -- On Lighting the World

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16


A good reminder that Christ wants us to light the world... to do good, to set an example, to offer light and hope to others. ... I think we have to be careful not to act superior or like *we* are the amazing ones, and to make sure we're glorifying God rather than just drawing attention to ourselves, but we clearly shouldn't be hiding under a bushel either. :)

Today, let's think and counsel with the Lord about how we can share God's light through good works and example... and then let's jump in and do it. :)
