"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." -Matthew 5: 16

This Little Light Of Mine

God challenges each of us to live our lives for Him. People may or may not remember the words we tell them but they cannot deny the evidence of their own eyes. "Let your light shine before men..." (Matthew 5: 16 above). This verse is an example of the importance of our actions. Living your life to serve and praise God will have an impact on those around you. More powerful than words, your willingness to serve God is a testimony of your love for Him, and when others "see your good deeds" then it will lead them to "praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5: 16)

"Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord." (Isaiah 2: 5) So as you go through each day of this week may you choose to "walk in the light of the Lord." As people see you and watch you each day may they see the evidence of God's love in your life. Let others see His light in your smile, in the spring in your step, in the generosity and concern that you show to those around you. take the love of the Lord and share it with those around you. Saint Francis Assisi once said, 'Spread the Gospel everywhere, and if necessary use words.' Actions do speak louder than words. As the children's song says, 'This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine.' Let the light of the Lord shine through your life!

Take a moment and encourage someone this week.

I pray that all is well with you. Please let me know if you have any prayer concerns or praises. Have a great week and remember to smile :), the Lord loves you!

In Christ,

Shan D. Hartsough
