Read Matthew 4-6
Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." We have a clear view of ourselves that we show to the world. We say certain things and act in certain ways, sure that others view us exactly the way we present ourselves. We can be surprised, pleasantly and unpleasantly, when we discover folks around us are not seeing us the way we would expect.
It’s too frustrating to try to change others’ minds about us. We can’t become better liked, more respected, or better understood through persuasion and lobbying. People will draw their own conclusions.
So it’s important to concentrate of pleasing God and doing what He commands. Our actions, our words, our attitudes, and our thoughts can be influenced by what the Lord wants from us. When we do what’s right as unto the Lord, others will begin to see Him shining through us.
