Good Morning Everyone!

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

    Matthew 5:16

Have you ever felt exhausted trying to shine for God? Here's the secret: Jesus doesn't say "create your OWN light"—He says you ARE the light. Already lit. No assembly required. 

We turn faith into performance reviews, don't we? You know Louder prayers, bigger service projects, more visible good deeds. But Jesus offers something simpler: just lift the basket that's hiding His light within you.

Notice Jesus doesn't wait for perfect lamps. He puts cracked ones on the stand too. Your imperfections don't disqualify you; they're where light leaks through most beautifully. 

Father God

Thank You for this beautiful truth, I don't have to earn Your light because Jesus already placed it in me. Sometimes I forget and exhaust myself trying to shine brighter, do more, be more. 

Help me rest in what You've already done. When life gets messy today, difficult people, unexpected changes, let Your light flow through me naturally. No striving. No performing. Just Your love spilling over along with your light shining through. In you precious name I pray 

Amen
