“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. 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.” – Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)
As followers of Christ, we’re called to not only follow in His example but to also share His light in our hearts with those around us. When we allow Jesus’ love to permeate our daily lives and become a part of everything we do, His presence within us becomes obvious to those we interact with. Letting the light of Christ be seen through our words, our decisions and our actions fulfills His desire for us, and glorifies God’s influence in our lives.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
Amen! I want the Light of Christ to shine through me for all to see!
People are always watching, and they need to see Jesus. So we must always shine for Him.
Enjoyed reading this and some of your other posts. I am following your blog now. God bless!

AMen..you know today I was sharing with the Lord about when we shine our light before men how they treat us badly at times because they can’t understand how can a person always be so friendly or be so happy everyday with a smile on their face, knowing that they are going through something. And the Lord told me Desi it’s not you that they hate so don’t take it personal it’s ME who they hate you represent ME so because you are the light they want to see how far they can go with you to get a reaction out of you. Then I asked the Lord well how come we don’t have those people following us like Jesus did when He walked the earth, and the Lord said, you do Desi, they are following you they are the ones you don’t see behind the scene the one who is waiting to see you mess up so they can come out and say something against you. Amazing chat we had today.
