Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Lord, that my light would shine in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. That I would lead a blameless and innocent life without grumbling or questioning. That I would bring glory to You in every word, in every action in every moment of my life fully demonstrating the transforming power of Your blood and the gift of the Holy Spirit as a guide within me.
