"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 NIV) What happens when you bring lantern into a dark room? The lantern lights the room up, right? This is the same with us. God is the light of the world. When you ask Jesus to come into your heart, he brings His light. Through your actions, words, and love, the light that lives inside you will shine through you! We live in a DARK world. Let Jesus shine through you so that you can be the lantern in a dark room!! People will see that you are different, full of light, and the glory will one day be God's!!
Teenagers: it's so easy to fall into the trap of being an "average teenager", and just doing what the world thinks all teenagers should do... but don't settle. If you have Jesus living inside you, let Him shine through you by saying no to gossip, not going places that aren't pleasing to God (no matter who else is going), watching the words that come out of your mouth, and showing everyone around you the love that Jesus gives you. It might be hard now, but in the end it WILL BE WORTH IT!! SHINE!!!
