“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

Since January, we’ve embarked on an extraordinary journey, and now it’s time to share that remarkable transformation with others. Our journeys are not just personal; they serve as profound testimonies to God’s power in our lives. By sharing our stories, we illuminate God’s love and grace for those who might be searching for their path. As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Throughout this year, each struggle and triumph has been a testament to the strength bestowed upon us by our faith. Reflecting on my journey from January until now, I can see countless moments where God’s hand guided me through adversity and joy alike. The changes we undergo should not remain secret but be shared passionately, encouraging others to open up to God’s transformative power.

2 Corinthians 4:6 says, “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

1 Corinthians 10:31 offers further encouragement, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. This assurance has propelled many of us forward even when times seemed bleak. Through prayer, community support, and unwavering faith, our lives have been irrevocably changed. By talking about these experiences openly, we offer hope and light to those still navigating their spiritual paths.

So, let your light shine before all because each moment from January until now is a piece of a larger mosaic showcasing God’s work in our lives. Let’s take pride in those moments and eagerly share them with others—after all, it could be the beacon they need to start their extraordinary journey. Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Amen.

Prayer for the day!
May your transformed life bear witness to God’s power. As a flourishing tree stands tall by streams of water, may you thrive with unwavering faith and find endless reasons to give thanks. In every challenge and triumph, let the light of Christ shine through you, illuminating the path for others lost in darkness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
