Shine!

Let your light so shine before men that

they may see your moral excellence

and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds

and recognize and honor and praise

and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 (AMP)

Do the people around you see your light shining?

Can others tell that you are a believer by your actions?

Are you setting the bar in your workplace?

OR...

Are you sitting at a bar, keeping the light within you hidden?

I've met people who can quote half the Bible

and argue every theological issue known to man,

but they have no influence or credibility

because they are so sloppy in the workplace.

They are always late to work.

They waste time.

They are unproductive.

And because of this

no one will listen to them.

Someone once said,

"Your performance gives you a platform."

When you excel in what you do,

that gets people's attention.

The way to gain respect,

the way to gain influence

is to develop your character

and skills in such a way

that people want what you have.

They may not agree with what you believe,

but when you are the best in your company,

they cannot argue with that.

You have earned their respect,

not with your words,

but by your commitment to excellence.

Don't settle for mediocrity.

You are a child of the Most High God.

Make the decision today to let your light shine

and bring Him glory in everything you do!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Heavenly Father, I choose to let my light shine

so that I can bring glory to You.

Strengthen me to rise up higher,

show me ways to set the standard.

Let my life be a testimony of You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
