Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

You must at all times remember who you are… in all places and under all circumstances. As God’s child you are being watched. Those around you are seeing if you really are who you say you are. They ultimately are testing Jesus through you. Your light must shine brightly so they can see Him.

The world wants to believe and know Jesus is real, but they have watched the wrong people and have become skeptical. Others want to see failure so they can justify who they have become and stay within their sin.

Open your eyes and your heart. Stay focused on Jesus and choose your words carefully. Be consistent day in and day out, and they will come to realize that you are who you say you are. Ultimately, they will see that He is faithful and true. They will see God’s love through you. So, be strong and let your light shine brightly before others so they will glorify Jesus and want to know Him better.
