Let Your Light Shine

"One summer a young boy went with his parents to Europe. Part of their tour was visiting the great old cathedrals. As he would visit cathedral after cathedral he saw the massive stained glass portraits of the disciples and of other saints. Upon returning home he told his Sunday School teacher about the great churches of Europe and the glass portraits of the saints. His teacher asked him, "What is a saint?" As his mind went back to those massive beautiful stained glass windows, he said, "A saint is a man the light shines through." " *

In our world today we may seem small and insignificant, yet we can and should have a powerful influence on it. Let the light of Jesus shine in and through you.

Are you prepared to let your light shine? Are you prepared to take a risk and be bold?

“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 a 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.”(Matthew 5:14-16)
