A Beacon Of Light

A Beacon Of Light…

Good morning to everyone!

Today, let’s embrace the opportunity to shine our light and be a beacon of hope to those around us.

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

In today’s verse, Jesus calls us not just to hold our faith close but to let it shine outward, illuminating the lives of those around us. This verse isn’t simply a call to personal righteousness; it’s an invitation to actively demonstrate the transformative power of God’s love through our actions.

Each day presents us with countless opportunities to be a living example of Christ’s teachings. It could be through a gesture of kindness, an act of service, or even through our patience and understanding in difficult situations. In these actions, our light – the light of Christ within us – shines brightly, offering guidance, comfort, and a glimpse of God’s grace to others.

Remember, each of us carries the potential to brighten someone’s path, using our talents, resources, and time not just to serve but to inspire. In doing so, we transform into beacons of hope and encouragement. Let’s make our light shine in such a way that others can’t help but notice and give glory to our Father in heaven.

What specific actions can you take today to shine God’s light and help others see His love and grace in your life?

You may have noticed I spend a lot of time within the Sermon On The Mount. I do this because I feel it gives us the very essence on how to live our lives.

Dear Lord, in the quiet of this morning, I am reminded of Your call in Matthew 5:16 to let my light shine. Help me, Father, to live out this day in a way that reflects Your love and grace. Guide my steps and my words, that they might bring a glimpse of Your kingdom to those I encounter.
Empower me, Lord, to use my talents and time to serve and uplift others, to be a source of encouragement and hope. May my actions point others to You, bringing light to places of darkness and joy where there is sadness. Let my life today be a living testimony to Your goodness and mercy. In doing so, may I glorify You in all things.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
