“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify you Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16.
Good works! —-Do good works—Not so man can see you, but so man can see God in you.
On Paul’s journey to Rome, the Roman Centurion Julius was with him at all times. Paul on his own could not have “been good” all the time. But Christ in Paul brought out the good so others could become believers. Julius respected Paul and what he saw in Paul, and wanted Paul’s life to be saved. In other words up close and personal, Paul made a difference.
“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good works, and glorify God on the day He returns.” 1 Peter 2:16.
Let your light shine—–up close and personal? This is the will of God through Christ Jesus. If He is in your heart, then let Him be in your life for others to see—-all the time.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
