Matthew 5:16 NASB "Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."It was pitch black and we couldn't see anything but a foot in front of us! Today's verse speaks to us about letting our light shine in such a way that they can see! We knew that he was in there somewhere but with the darkness, smoke and fire, we just had to keep going! As we searched for the victim in the building, the flashlights we carried became our most important tool. Shining the lights in each room as we searched helped us to keep moving forward until we finally found him. Life can be dark, filled with things that blind us, but when the Light of Christ begins to shine in our life, we can find things we never knew we were looking for. Things like peace, joy, strength, and many others. Those who know Christ are now the Light of Christ to be shone in the darkness of the world, so let's make sure our batteries are fresh and shine brightly for the world to see Jesus! peace, tom
