**Sharing your Faith**
“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 the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
This verse from the Sermon on the Mount is a powerful call to action. Jesus isn't asking us to hide our faith or keep it a secret. Instead, He encourages us to live in a way that reflects God's love and grace, so that others may witness the transformative power of faith. The emphasis is not on boasting or preaching, but on demonstrating our faith through our actions.
Our "good deeds" become a testament to the presence of God in our lives, drawing others to Him not through forceful persuasion, but through the compelling example of a life lived in accordance with His teachings. It's about authenticity and integrity – letting our actions speak louder than words.
Guided Prayer: Dear Lord, may your light shine through me, to show others who you are.
