My good deeds can point people to God.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in Matthew 5:16.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 · BSB

Reflection

Jesus says to let your light shine so people see your good deeds and glorify your Father. The goal isn't to be noticed. It's for people to notice God through what you do.

A prayer

Father, let my life point to You today, not to me.
