"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness (Jn. 12:46). I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (Jn. 8:12).
Lord Jesus, you are the light of life that shines in me!
GOOD WORKS
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (Eph. 5:8). Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us (1 Pt. 2:12). Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light (Jn. 12:36).
Lord Jesus, I put my trust in you!
GLORY TO THE FATHER
Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son (2 Jn. 1:9).
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples (Jn. 8:31). My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me (Jn. 7:16). This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples" (Jn. 15:8).
See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father (1 Jn. 2:24). If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you (Jn. 15:7).
Father in heaven, be it done to me according to your word in Jesus Name. Amen.
