Read Matthew 5:14
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."
Devotional
Imagine walking into a completely dark room. Even one flashlight changes everything. Darkness doesn't overpower light, light pushes back the darkness. Jesus says that His followers are like that light.
You don't have to be famous, have thousands of followers, or stand on a stage to shine for Jesus. Sometimes your light shines through small things, welcoming a new student, helping a classmate, encouraging a teammate, or simply smiling at someone who feels alone.
Never underestimate what God can do through one faithful person. You may not realize it, but people are watching how you live. Your actions can point them to Jesus.
