Help the World Glorify God

Let your light shine before men in 
such a way that they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

[The world] will see "your good works," Jesus said.
Your coworkers will witness your courtesy.

A person downtrodden will be comforted by your smile.

Someone who holds open a door for you will notice that you stop to thank them.

A spouse will respect your humble apology.

A friend will appreciate that you took the time to listen when they were struggling.

A person with whom you have had conflict in the past will notice when you go out of your way to do something kind for them.

People will see every visible manifestation of Christ's life being lived out through you. Because of what they see, they will "glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16)

Let’s listen to Jesus and live in a way that will help the world glorify God.

Dear Father, Help me recognize all the opportunities you put before me today in which I can let my light shine. I want to reflect the light of your goodness in a dark world.
Amen.
