In Matthew 5:16 Jesus makes a defining statement for every Christian, He says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." In order for our lights to shine, we must live a balanced life based on the Word of God. We are to reflect the light of Jesus Christ in our homes and community. We may be the only light that a family member, co-worker, neighbor, or stranger may see in a course of day. Pray daily that God will help add the needed ingredients in your life, so you will shine and grow in Him.
