Sunday's Scripture Reading ~ Matthew 5:16

First, let me start by saying "Happy Father's Day" to all dads out there and to all the single moms who have to be both mom and dad to their children. It's amazing how each week tends to fly by so fast. I am definitely trying my best to keep up. So, let's keep it rolling. This week scripture is.....





"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good
works and glorify your
Father in heaven."
(Matthew 5:16)


We are representatives of Jesus Christ. We are to be mindful of your actions and words. For one, you never who could be watching you or listening to your conversations. As disciples of Jesus, we can't say one thing and do another when it comes to the word of God. By no means, I am saying that we have to be perfect. We are far from it. However, we must try hard to live according to God's word and let our light shine so that people can see the glory of God reflecting in us.
