shining bright
One of my favorite Scriptures has always been Matthew 5:14-16.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
The question I've been asking myself and the challenge I've issued myself is "How can I build relationships with more people, and how can I serve more in the community I am in?"
Here's the thought I felt like God spoke to me the other night. "You can't shine bright if you're not surrounded by darkness." How simple, yet so profound.
This thought is challenging me on a number of levels.
Today, tomorrow, everyday, place yourself in situations that give you an opportunity to let your light shine, so that others may praise your Father in heaven.
