Day 5 of Spreading Gratitude
Reading: Matthew 5:14-16
"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." You are light. Not because of your perfection, but because Christ dwells in you. When you show up authentically—sharing both struggles and victories—you illuminate the path for others. This doesn't mean having all the answers or presenting a flawless image. It means being honest about how God meets you in real life. Parker's gratitude for his mother's strength, Joan's decades of faithful service, Hayden's assurance of God's never-ending love—these testimonies shine light into darkness. Your mission isn't finished while you're still here. Today, ask God: "How can I be light in someone's darkness?" Then step into that calling with confidence, knowing His light within you is more powerful than any darkness around you.
