Matthew 5:16
“Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

I saw a light on top of a building. Actually, it was on top of the radio antenna. And so I asked my father why do they have to put that beacon light on that location.
He responded that it is for safety. So that low-flying aircrafts like small planes and helicopters would recognize the building and prevent crashing on them. A neat idea, as I thought.
Imagine a small light preventing people from perishing.
Every Christian are called to be the light of the world. Not only the priests, or the nuns or the pastors or the lay ministers.
Everyone, without exemption!
So the next time you say, “I don’t have to help them, let those with powers and money and influence help them”, then you are wrong. You can help not only by extending money. You can help by ministering on them. You can help by telling them about the salvation brought by the Lord.
You can help by being a light to them, so they would not perish but have an eternal life with God in Heaven.
Every good deeds you do in helping others cope up with their life, is a beacon of light that would reach heaven. Do not let go of that light. Make it shine more so more people would be attracted to it and have their lives change for the better.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, let me be a light for others. Use me so that others may see that same light of salvation. Amen +
The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
