Let it shine

Matthew 23:27 Reads, “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.” In a dark room, a single match and a spotlight work towards the same task; bringing light to the darkness.

It can be difficult to feel like our contribution is meaningful when we compare instead of cooperate with others. Whether we’ve been entrusted with a meteoric fire, or a small steady flame, we are responsible to steward well what God has given us.

The minister Henry Van Dyke wrote, "Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."

What song is God asking you to sing today? Where can you shine your light, large or small?


Matthew 5:16
