10/13/12 - Matthew 5 - 7


S - Matthew 5:13 - "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?  It is not longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.  14 "You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hell cannot be hidden.  15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.  16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . you are the lamp that I have lit in Sanger.  You are a city set on a hill.  Let your light shine so that all may see your good works.  Live your life so that it brings glory to your Father who is in heaven.

A - I must live my life in such a way that it will bring glory to my Father in heaven.  All are watching me.  If I live in such a way that it does not bring glory to the Father, not only have I lost my light but I am also dimming the lights of my brothers and sisters on campus.

P - Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I do not glorify you with my life.  Help me to live in such a way that, not only do people see you in me, but you are pleased.  I want to hear, someday, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
