They just ARE.Michaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-8865929175339904312015-01-25T07:01:18.522-08:002015-01-25T07:01:18.522-08:00That's an interesting question as far as the d...That's an interesting question as far as the difference between not doing our alms to be seen of men, and letting our lights shine, allowing others to see our good works so that they will glorify God. And I guess in both God is showing us that the focus should be on God. We're doing all of it for him, and not for praise. For me, I guess letting my light shine is setting an example as a saint and a member of God's church. If someone sees me doing alms, it should be incidentally, not advertised... because the glory will always be to us, and not to God. Other things though, we can do more publicly. Like not drinking, smoking, or engaging in premarital sex. :) People know us as a group for things like that. And if we can be kind, accepting, good... our whole lives should be an example of what God has taught us.Suzanne Bennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390209922646950758noreply@blogger.com
