You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
If you were taken away from your group of friends, church group, or classroom of any sort, would people recognize that you're gone? Sometimes I think about my sphere of influence towards others and wonder if its any good; if it was any way good enough for God. I know that I have been slacking towards my leadership responsibilities and that I would rather assign the responsiblities to another. But what I don't realize is that I am the light of the world. Doesn't matter how strong or weak the flame is, if you are willing to do good, what else is there to fear? I was afraid. I was always afraid that my light was not strong enough and that someone else should just take my place as a leader. But this verse pushes me because, regardless of what I know or what I can do, I know Jesus.
Amen.
