Matthew 5:14-16 it says, “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.”
I don’t know about you .... But maybe you’ve been hiding your light under a basket? ...... There isn’t a Christian alive that hasn’t done this at one time or another ... Do you have any idea of the light that you could be to those around you? For example, you can decide that you are going to start a new trend in your family --- And it begins with you, there is going to be a commitment to Jesus Christ ... Wouldn’t it be cool if generations to come could look back to your faith in God and commitment to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus as the beginning of their faith heritage? -- Have you ever thought about that? --- The impact that your life could have on so many? Many people are counting on your “renovation”/”reconstruction” of the heart!
Your renovation/reconstruction goes beyond the salvation of your friends and family ... Your walk with Jesus affects all of life.
Jesus changes things, he brings the dead to life....He not only brings dead things to life, but he renovates hearts .... and when this happens – people notice!! They see visible evidence of an invisible God who is the light of the world – WHO IS JESUS!! ...
The more we are releasing the character of God into this world -------- The more friendships are changed, the more families are changed, the more lives that are changed, and the more society is changed and reorganized. --- God wants to drop students into schools, athletic teams, colleges, companies, communities, who are living containers of his presence, releasing what they are holding. And over time, the presence of God begins to spread ... and that is glory -- And that glory brings us satisfied joy!

I have found this to really work in my school. My school, like many, is not real big n Christians. We are kinda seen as the freaks with morals. But just by moving one person, I have found it moves mountains!
