Good morning, dear friends. Just want to send you a smile and a ray of Son-shine to begin this new Monday. There's something about Mondays needing a good stiff kick to get us started, but ya know, Monday is just one of those seven days God created; and since He saw each day He created "good', shouldn't we determine to make each day the best they can be and allow our light to shine in the midst of its 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 that 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 as I remember 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 we were '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; people were always smiling and some laughing as we made those cute little hand gestures making everyone's heart all warm and giggly. It's amazing how one little song could usher in God's love and continues to be one of the greatest conditioning songs for people of all ages. The same goes for just one little light shining in the midst of darkness giving hope and direction to the lost and hurting.
From early childhood we shared 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 lonely in this dark and dismal world. People are searching to find their way out of dark and hopeless situations and unless they can see our light shining they could be lost forever. It's time to shine our light no matter how big or how small 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 match.
So come on! Let's light up this world and make today the best day it can be! Let your light so shine for Jesus today that others may see His good works in you and want the hope you share. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
