Scriptures

📖 Matthew 5:14–16 (ESV) — “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

📖 Esther 4:14 (ESV) — “For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

📖 Isaiah 60:1 (ESV) — “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

📖 2 Timothy 1:6–7 (ESV) — “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
