Light-Flower

Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16: You are the light of the world-like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't h ide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine out for all.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Last Monday I walked out of a meeting and almost stepped on a Moss Rose plant that was growing in the crack in the sidewalk. The flower was dark bright pink and in full bloom. I looked around and did not see any other Moss Roses in the flower beds.

I thought about that plant and its flowers as I drove away.  That plant and its flowers are like a light for all to see in the world. We as Christians are to be a light in the world, the light of Jesus and not hide your light.

We as Christians should not be quiet when we should speak, we should help others with their needs, and we should not let sin put out our light.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, Be with us as we daily keep the light of Jesus visible to others in our lives each day.  Amen
