In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that^[b] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16.

This has been my life verse. I believe Godly character is so important in a Christian’s life. Our walk must line up with our talk. It is my heart’s desire and prayer to be a reflection of Christ wherever I go and in whatever I do.

In a world where the trend is to look, act and talk like everyone else, we are called to represent Christ. Light stands out in the dark. It is apparent and it is different than its surroundings. That is the same with us. We should be different, and it should be obvious. When you feel tempted to think that your words or actions don’t really matter-think again-you’re the light of the world. Be obvious and consistent.

How do you need to let your light shine more effectively?

What do you need to stop doing that looks more like the world than it does a Christ follower?
