"In the same way, let Your good deeds shine out for all to see,
so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
Matthew 5:16 (NLT)
Shining your light is
- a kind word spoken when encouragement is needed.
- a comforting hug when someone is grieving.
- helping when it's not your job.
- embracing those who are looked down upon.
- keeping your mouth shut when the words are better left unspoken.
- doing what is right even when it feels or appears that no one else is.
- bringing hot chocolate to one who has to be outside on a cold day.
- choosing to forgive even when it isn't wanted or appreciated.
- putting the needs of others above your own.
- bringing a meal to a family who needs it.
- writing a note of encouragement.
- remembering and acknowledging a loss in someone's life.
- making time to check on a friend who is struggling.
- choosing to walk the hard and dark journeys of others with them pointing them to Christ.
