Matthew 5:16
[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Christ Fulfills the Law
We are called to demonstrate the love of God through our works.
Jesus is telling us to live consumed by what others think about, not you but about God. Live so that others think well of God. Live so that others give glory to God.And live so that others see your life, hear your word, observe your works, and they don’t say anything about you. They give glory to God.
That is a radically different way to live. It’s a revolutionary way to live.It’s the exact opposite of pride. This is humility. To live in such a way that your light shines before others. They see the way you live and they don’t think about you.They give glory to your father who is in heaven. You live for that, it’ll change the way you talk.
It’ll change the way you work, it’ll change your motive and your relationships at home and your neighborhood at your workplace in the world.
Prayer
Lord help me that your light may shine in me, Amen.
