Good morning, dear friends. Just want to send you a smile and a ray of Son-shine on this wet and rainy Monday. Looking outside it's dark and gloomy, wet and rainy, and there's just something about Monday, and greater yet that it's a rainy Monday. But ya know, Monday is just one of those seven day weeks God created and since He saw each day as "good' then we should seek out the 'good' and determine to make this day the best it can be as we shine light in the midst of the darkness.
Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." He encourages us not to hide our light, but to let it shine forth in the darkness, giving hope and guidance to those lost in darkness. The time is now to be a light in a vast world filled with darkness and to be a conductor of His Light to help usher in the very presence of God's love in word and deed. All it takes is one little light!
I remember a little song from childhood, "This little light of mine", and sometimes just hearing those words brings a smile to my face with warm memories of us singing this little song with all its little hand motions: 'This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine'- and we were 'not gonna let satan blow it out'- and 'gonna let it shine til Jesus comes'. What precious memories as we stood in front of congregations and by the end of the song, happiness flooded everyone there; even our little hearts were all warm and giggly. It's amazing how that one little song could usher in God's love and continues to be one of the greatest conditioning songs for people of all ages.
From early childhood we sang cute little songs, but now it's time to put those songs into action. Now it's time to walk the walk and let His light shine within us, radiating out to those lost and alone in this dark and dismal world. People are searching to find their way out of dark and hopeless situations and unless they can see a light they could be lost forever. It's time to shine our light no matter how big or how little we feel it may be. It only takes one tiny little match lit in total darkness to give enough light to find one's way out of darkness. And Lord knows, we are much more than just one!
So come on! Let's light up this world and make today the best day yet! Let your light shine for Jesus today and be blessed, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
