We start believing we’re not enough—or that someone else could do it better. But Jesus calls us to shine. Not for our own glory, but to reflect His light into a dark world. 📖 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14 📖 “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 Today’s prayer helps you reject the urge to dim your light and instead step forward in faith. You were created with purpose. God doesn’t need you to be perfect—just willing.
