You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden, nor 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. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matt 5:14-16 (NIV)

Jesus described His followers as the light of the world. Light reveals, guides, and brings comfort, and that’s exactly what we are called to do. In a world that often seems darkened by pain, confusion, and despair, God has placed His light within you to shine and make a difference. Your light is not just for you; it is meant to brighten the lives of those around you, pointing them to the love and truth found in Jesus.

The light within you shines through your actions, words, and character. Simple acts of kindness, showing patience, speaking truth in love, and standing for what is right can illuminate even the darkest places.

Remember, you do not have to be perfect or have it all together to be a light. You just need to be willing to let God’s love shine through you.

At times, it may feel challenging to shine, especially when faced with difficulties and misunderstandings, but light shines brightest in the dark. Let your light reflect God’s grace, mercy, truth, and trust that He is using you to bring hope to others.

Prayer Points:

Let’s thank the Lord for calling us to be a light in this world and ask Him to help us shine brightly for Him. Let’s ask God to give us the courage to stand for what is right and the grace to be kind.
