Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:14-16 NASV)

I read John 15:5 every day until one day I finally got it, and I cried deep, soul-satisfying tears. It’s true: I can do nothing without you, Jesus. Everything I have ever done before I knew you and everything I try to dowithout you add up to nothing. The only things that have meaning are done with you and in your name and for you.
