DO THEY SEE THE LIGHT

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 5:16
King James Version

Do people see the light of Jesus shining from us by the words we say and the things that we do? What about our family? If they don't see His light shining from us, they are seeing the darkness of satan. This reminds me of the teenage boy who said to his parents "You go to church, you sing in the choir and you teach Sunday school but when you come home you criticize the pastor and the sermon. If this is what being a Christian is, I don't want any part of it".

May God have mercy on us if we are a stumbling block to others and especially to our children. People either see the light of Jesus shining from us or they see the darkness of satan. None of us are perfect and that includes me. All of us hurt Jesus at times and disappoint Him but we are to let people see the difference Jesus can make in our heart and life.

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for the times that I have hurt Jesus and also hurt You because of my words and actions. I'm sorry because I never want to hurt You yet I know that I do at times. I pray for every man, every woman, every boy and every girl who has not invited Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour. May today be the day they humble themselves, admit they are sinners, ask God to forgive them and invite Jesus into their heart. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
