“You are the light of the world…. let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14 & 16
One Sunday, Fran heard how Jesus Christ was the Light to a dark world. The pastor told the congregation how Christ’s love and compassion for others was so evident. That “light of love” shone brightly through Jesus.
Fran listened intently as the pastor challenged them to be Lighthouses. She went home wondering if she were a light to others. She wondered if people saw Christ reflected in everything she did.
Then it hit her. She realized it wasn’t up to her to be the light. Jesus is the Light. Fran needed to let Him work through her and God’s Light would be visible. She began to share God’s love with her family, friends and neighbors. Fran reflected the light of Christ to everyone around her.
Friend, be a Lighthouse! Let God’s love shine through you every day!
