Shine, Beloved, Shine (Poetry) Matthew 5:14-16 (devotional) By Dayanah Ahmawanah 💕

Matthew 5:14-16
[14]Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15]Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.❤️

I know You try to fight it
But You cant deny it
Whether or not You like it
That light is contagious
And it can not be hid
Though Ive seen You try to
I can feel Your light
From another room
For You hunger for that heavenly bread
And that bible , you keep
Keeps You feed
But its not just for You to be content
There are others watching You
Wondering if they should eat it too
Watching if it has worked for you
To walk in spirit and the truth
For in Your heart, your treasure is The Most Highs word
You are a light of the world
And just like a city upon a hill
You can not be hid,
And there is no man
Who lights the candle ,
And hides the candlestick
They give light to the whole house
And all that are in the house ,  reaps the benefits
So let Your light shine before men
And bring glory to the Father in heaven
As they see Your good works
For You are a light of this world
A light to me in this world
Your smile, lights the darkest corners
Your hug warms the coldest of  hearts
And each day You grow brighter and brighter
As You become more like Christ, and cleave to the Lord
So don’t try to fight it
Your light is Christ, dont deny it
That light is contagious
And just like a city upon a hill
You can not be hid
So let Your light shine
Give all glory to
The Most High,
As through Your good works
Christ shines
And The Father in heaven is glorified
May this truth  bring joy to Your heart
And peace to Your mind
That You are a beautiful light
One of the remnant lighting
Up the night
For everyone who is in Your sight
Casting demons out with Your smile
For the power that comes from You
Is Christ,
So
Shine
Beloved
Shine
Eternally
Cheerfully
Faithfully
💕
