Are you working like a stained glass window?
A young boy was walking through a church with his father, noticing all the names of saints on the stained glass windows. When he asked his father what a saint was, the father pointed to where the sun was shining through the window and said “A saint is a person through whom God’s light shines!”
When Jesus spoke of the lamp today, he wants us to see ourselves as the lamp. For his light to be seen through us, we must first let His light illuminate our thoughts, visions, attitudes, and even our whole selves. In turn, each of us can be a light to others, and our families can be Christ’s shining light to other families.
How do I shine Christ’s light to others?
Jesus wants our light to be seen! Comfort those who struggle in the shadows by praying with them, listening to them, and being kind.
