“Let Your Light Shine” (Matthew 5:16)

This verse encourages believers to live in a way that reflects God’s love and goodness, serving as a light to others. It is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus teaches about embodying the values of the Kingdom of God. By shining their light, believers can inspire others and direct them towards God’s mercy and provision.
