The Light of Joy
Scripture
Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT) "You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
Devotion
As believers, we're called to shine the light of Christ's joy to the world. Our joy reflects the love and hope found in Jesus. Let His joy illuminate your life, so others are drawn to His goodness and grace through you.
Reflection
How can you be a light in your community, reflecting the joy of Christ? What opportunities do you have today to show His love to others?
Prayer
Lord, let Your joy be evident in my life, a beacon that draws others to You. May my words and actions shine Your light, bringing hope and love to those around me. Amen.
