OUR GOOD WORKS GLORIFY OUR DAD
Matthew 5:14-16
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. 15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. 16 Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

We are a torch, lit by God Himself so that we might shine for all the world to see. When our good works testify to the goodness of our Heavenly Father, we honor Him and bring glory to His name. Each of us has been chosen to complete the work our Father intended us to do before the creation of the world (Ephesians 2:10).
My prayer is that we would not hide the light within us. May fresh boldness come upon each of us today as we let our light shine before others so that our Heavenly Father might be blessed and honored in everything we do. May each of us recognize that we are indeed His masterpiece, and it brings great joy to His heart when we live out the unique destiny He has planned for us.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. (WEB)
