Be a light!!!

Have you ever walked into a dark room and accidentally bumped any part of your body against an object because you couldn't see? I can't remember myself but I do recall the pain that comes with it. If I had a light source with me, then I would have been able to have avoided getting hurt. This is one great importance of Light. It shows the way.

Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:14-16 tells us that as Christians we are the light of the world and that we should let our light shine so that all would see and give Our Father all the glory! Isn't it interesting that He calls us the light? We know that light makes things visible. It exposes the shape or form, nature and even deformities of objects it falls on. We must understand that we as Children of The Father of lights ( James 1:17) by our lifestyle and examplex show the rest of the world what God requires, what is the condition of man, what is the way of duty, peace and way to heaven. 

The first time I studied this passage i pictured God looking down at the world and seeing His children as tiny dots of light shining back at Him ( like this picture below taken from space) and the question came up in my heart, would He see me too shining? I checked myself and made up my mind to make sure that i would do all I can by His Grace not to be found wanting. My light would shine for men to see.

Paul writes in Phillipians 2:14-15 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation among whom ye shine as lights in the world! Beloved we are the light bearers of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. This song below used to be favourite song for me as a child. As I write this post, it comes up in my heart.

This little light of mine,

I am going to let it shine.

This little light of mine.

I am going to let it shine.

This little light of mine,

I am going to let it shine.

Let it shine,

Let it shine,

Let it shine!
