Luke 11:36

"Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness."

Key Reflection

This verse challenges us to examine our inner light—our faith and goodness—and ensure it is not overshadowed by sin or hypocrisy. True spiritual illumination must be genuine, penetrating all aspects of one's life, not just superficial.
