ARE YOU SHINING?
“You are the LIGHT of the world. . . . Let your SO SHINE before men, that they may SEE your GOOD WORKS, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).
Notice the words in caps. There are so many words to affect our lives in this Scripture.
LIGHT: Jesus is the light of the world. Therefore, when He comes into our lives we are filled with LIGHT. Light exposes the darkness. Light brings forth life. Light brings forth revelation and understanding.
SHINE: We not only to SHINE the light of Jesus through our lives, but to SO SHINE!
SEE: People must SEE the light of Jesus in our lives. Who will see it first? Our husband and children. If we can’t shine the light in our home, how can we do it outside the home?
GOOD WORKS: We reveal the light of Jesus by our GOOD WORKS. We are not saved by good works, but when we are born again and the light of Jesus fills our lives, we show it by our good works (Ephesians 2:10). Where will we show our good works first? In our home.
GLORIFY: We GLORIFY our Father in heaven when those around us see our good works.
Not only shine, but SO SHINE today! May your children exclaim, “You are shining, Mommy.”
