"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
What does it truly mean to live a life worthy of the cross of Jesus Christ? Think about this today. Are you living a life worthy of His cross?
What does it mean "your light" in today's verse? Your light is the bright light of Jesus shining out of your heart to those around you. To those who do not know God, His presence in you is like a super bright light shining in the midst of the darkness of their life. And those around you will see your good works, the way you live your life every day, and through that you'll bring glory to your Father in heaven. Jesus gave His life for us; what can we give to Him in view of His sacrifice of love?
"Father, ignite a fire in my heart for you today. Fill me completely with your love and grace. Let our relationship shine brightly to those around me today. Let them see you in my eyes. Let your sweet presence with me be a light in this dark world and draw people to you. Fill me with your Holy Spirit! Let me shine!"
"Father, ignite a fire in the hearts of the Khmer Krom Peoples of Cambodia for you today. Fill those in or around the Khmer Krom who know you to be completely filled with your love and grace for reaching the Khmer Krom peoples. Let your sweet presence be a light in this dark world and draw these people to you. May your Holy Spirit bring others to the Khmer Krom to share the light of Jesus with them!"
