share your light
guide : three
MATTHEW 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A town built 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 others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
How are you currently letting your light shine in your daily life? What good deeds or actions could you take to better reflect God's love to those around you?
you are called to be a light in the world. don't hide your faith or your good works. let others see God's love through you. when you do good things, it glorifies God and shows others who He is.
JOHN 8:12
"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'"
How has following Jesus brought light into your life? In what ways can you help others discover this same light and life?
Jesus is the source of all light. when you follow Him, you have His light in you. share this light with others so they can also escape darkness and find life.
EPHESIANS 5:8
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
How has your life changed since becoming a child of light? What specific ways can you live out this identity in your relationships and daily choices?
you have been transformed from darkness to light. now live like the child of light you are. let your actions and choices reflect this new identity.
1 PETER 2:9
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
What praises do you have for God who called you out of darkness? How can you declare His wonderful light to others in your words and actions?
you are special to God. He chose you and called you out of darkness. now declare His praises and share His wonderful light with others.
PHILIPPIANS 2:14-15
"Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, 'children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.' Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky."
How do grumbling and arguing dim your light? What practical steps can you take to shine like stars in this generation through your attitude and actions?
your attitude matters. when you complain and argue, it dims your light. choose joy and peace instead, and you will shine like stars in this dark world.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."

God's glory is upon you. don't stay hidden or dim. arise and shine! let His light in you be visible to others.
