Scripture of the Week: Matthew 5:14-16

Good Morning Everyone :)

I'm beyond excited to be coming to you all today with a new feature on my blog.

The last few weeks I've been feeling really down from all of the craziness that exists in the world, and constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough to spread the word about God's love and gift of redemption through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I spent a lot of time in prayer about this, and I was lead to the idea of starting a fourth post on my blog each week, a post where I'll be sharing a scripture that has encouraged me through my week and that will hopefully do the same to you.

I'm going to be posting these each and every Thursday, and I hope by doing so that it will help someone else find the motivation they need in His word.

I happened to be on The Light Blonde  the other day looking at new t-shirts in their store, and I ended up reading about the story of how their business first got started.

I loved how the lovely lady behind the business was inspired by Matthew 5: 14-16, and after reading those passages once again, I knew they were the perfect choice to start off this new blogging venture.

Matthew 5: 14-16:

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

I love these verses so much, and I love the fact that they really put into perspective what is being asked of us as Christians. We need to let our light shine through, and be a reason for others to want to come and know Christ. As Avalon says, "the world will wonder why if You and I will shine His light."

Let's all shine a light for Jesus today in a world becoming more and more clouded with darkness.

Enjoy the rest of your day, and God Bless :)
