As we thank God for His presence in our everyday lives, let us not grow weary and lose heart in consistently pointing others to Him. Let us exert extra effort to tell those around us about His transformative love, not only through words but moreso through our actions.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
When they see how Jesus has changed our lives, our outlook, and the way we treat others, we become a powerful testament of His mercy, good plans, and loving ways!
We become living proof that the abundant life He gives, is far more precious than fame, financial security, relationships, and other worldly successes. Our lives will show that when a person’s faith is in Jesus, contentment, peace and joy can be found regardless of the circumstances we face.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13
Thank you for reading through our devotional today. I invite you to ponder on Matthew 5:14-16 to dig deeper on today’s topic.
Reflection Question: What does pointing others to Christ entail for you today? Are you losing hope about a person close to you, who seems to not see what you see in Jesus? How can you continue pointing him or her to the Lord?
Conversation with the Lord: Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to relish in Your loving presence. May you give me the grace and confidence to point others to you through my daily life. Amen.
