In Matthew 5:16 Jesus makes a defining statement for every Christian, He says, In order for our lights to shine, we must live a balanced life based on the Word of God. We are to reflect the light of Jesus Christ in our homes and community. We may be the only light that a family member, co-worker, neighbor, or stranger may see in a course of day. Pray daily that God will help add the needed ingredients in your life, so you will shine and grow in Him.
