Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

When you choose to pursue something, there is something or someone there that you believe will benefit you, such as a new job with benefits, a relationship that comes with a person who loves you, or maybe the purchase of a large home to accommodate your family. Things entice your decisions in life. 

Today's passage is a good reminder for God's children to always live by a standard of good conduct: love others, forgive when offended and live in peace with everyone. These are just a few of the countless good qualities that the Christian should follow. By doing so, you will ignite a desire for those living in darkness to come to the light. 

There is no peace, no love, no forgiveness in the darkness. Your light is the only hope they have to see their way out. Live for Christ in every moment and see the world around you change for the good. Blessings friend.
