Fill in the Blank

Want to play a game?   It's a fill-in-the-blank, and there are no wrong answers.

Actually, there might be some answers that are considered "wrong".  But that's between you and God...

The game is based on the following passage:

"Let your light shine before others, 
that they may see your good deeds 
and glorify your Father in heaven." 
Matthew 5:16

and the challenge is simple.  What did Jesus mean when He said, "Let your light shine" ?  What did He mean by "good deeds" ?  I think the reason He wasn't more specific, is that we are to ask ourselves:  "What did He mean for me?"

So what is it Jesus wants you to do, that others would see, and glorify your Father in heaven?   It might be something that's your "gift", or it might be something you're not that good at.

It might be something that's a passion of yours, something you love to do.  Or it might be something you hate to do.

It might be something God's been whispering to you about.  Or it might be something that He's getting ready to lead you to.

It might be a need across the globe.  Or it might be in your church.

Ask Him what He would have you do, and then obey.  Your light will shine, and others will see.  And then they will glorify Him.

~ "You are the light of the world.  
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, 
but on a lampstand, and it gives light 
to all who are in the house.  
Let your light so shine before men, 
that they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father in heaven." ~
Matthew 5:14-16
