¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can’t be hidden. ¹⁵Also, people do not light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand. Then it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father who is in heaven.”

Think!

Have you ever used a flashlight? It helps you find your way in the dark. It shines so you can see where to go and be safe.

God says His followers are like a light. When they love and obey God they shine. They show others the way to Him. Is your life like a light? Can other people see Jesus in how you live? Do you show them how to follow Him?

You can pray like this:

Dear God, make my life a light for others. Help me show them Your right way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
