Text: Ephesians 4:25-29 
Courtesy
As children of light, we are called to live a life that reflects God's love and truth. In a world filled with darkness, we are to shine bright like stars in the sky. But how can we do this? Let's examine four key areas where we can live out our faith:
1. Truth-telling: Speak truthfully to one another, just as Ephesians 4:25 says, "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor."
2. Managing anger: Control your temper and don't let anger turn into sin. Ephesians 4:26 says, "In your anger do not sin." Let us learn to manage our anger and respond in a way that honors God.
3. Honesty: Work hard to earn your living and don't engage in any form of stealing, including bribery and cheating. Ephesians 4:28 says, "Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work."
4. Restraint of tongue: Use your words to bless others, not to curse. Ephesians 4:29 says, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths." Let us strive to speak words that are kind, gentle, and uplifting.
Action Points
1. Get rid of unrighteousness, rage, anger, and harsh
words.
2. Train your behaviour to meet the quality of a good
light.
3. Be kind to yourself, your neighbour, and all
nature.
4. Let forgiveness be your daily chore.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, help us to live a life
that shines bright, reflecting Your love and truth. Give us the strength to
speak truthfully, manage our anger, work hard, and use our words to bless
others. May our lives be a beacon of hope in a dark world. Amen.
