A Fresh Vision of Hope For 2025
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
When we live for Christ, our lives shine like lights, showing others what it means to follow Him and let Him lead. But that light dims when we blend in with the crowd, stay silent when we should speak up, or fail to share our faith. Instead, let’s choose to be beacons of hope, strength, and love—boldly shining our light for all to see.
When we truly live for Jesus, we shine 🌟—reflecting His love, truth, and grace to the world around us. He becomes the head 🕊️ of our lives, guiding our words, actions, and choices.
But sometimes, our light gets hidden when we:
🙈 Go along with the crowd
🤐 Stay silent when we should speak truth
😶 Avoid sharing our faith
😓 Compromise our values to "fit in"
📱 Let distractions dim our focus on God
Want to keep your light shining bright? Try this:
💬 Speak truth with love – Don't be afraid to stand for what's right.
🙏 Stay rooted in prayer – Talk to God daily to stay connected and strong.
📖 Read the Word – Let Scripture fuel your faith and clarity.
🫶 Serve others – Show Christ through acts of kindness and compassion.
🙌 Worship boldly – Let your joy in Christ be contagious!
Be a beacon 🔦 of hope and strength. Don’t dim your light—share it! The world needs what God has placed in you.
