"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5:16 (ESV)

From this verse, we see that we are to be lights shining for Jesus in this dark world. This winter, we can be reminded that just as snow brightens the earth and covers the dead trees and ground, we can be lights illuminating this dark, sinful world.

Call to Action

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone."

Isaiah 9:2 (ESV)

Let us be a light that shines for Jesus, and just like the snow, let us light up our world!

After reading this issue, we pray that you are ENCOURAGED and EMPOWERED to SHINE YOUR LIGHT.
