Key Scripture: Matthew 5:16
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Devotional
Every act of faithful service is a witness. Jesus tells us to let our light shine through good works so that others see and glorify the Father. Our goal is not attention but revelation-making the invisible God visible through tangible love.
Service opens doors for conversations about hope. People may resist arguments, but they rarely resist being served. Love disarms and invites.
Your life becomes a living letter from Christ when you serve steadily and sincerely. Even small lights change dark rooms.
Ask God for one person to bless today in a way that points clearly to Him.
