Day 5: You Are the Light

Scripture

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)

Matthew 5:14-16

Jesus says you are the light of the world. Not you will be. You are. Right now. Your purpose is not something you grow into. It is something you already are. Light does not try hard to be light. It just shines. And when it shines, it reveals what is hidden and guides people home. You do not have to try to be significant. You already are. You are carrying the presence of God, and that presence is light. Let it shine. Not for your glory. For His.

Prayer

Jesus, You called me the light of the world. Help me shine today — not for my glory, but so others see You.
