📖 Scripture Spotlight: Matthew 6:22–23
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”
This powerful passage challenges us to examine where we focus our attention—and whether we allow God’s light to shine through.
