Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
-John 1:3-5
Darkness has to flee in the presence of light.We, as believer, are called the light of the world. So, where are we shining our little lights? Are we going into the *dark* places, stepping outside our comfort zones, venturing into the places that need the hope of Jesus?
Sometimes it's easy to become overwhelmed..what can I do? We feel small and the need is so great. One little light. What difference can one little light make in all that darkness? I'm reminded of a message by Holly Wagner. She had all of the lights turned off in the large auditorium and turned on a small flashlight..all eyes were immediately drawn to that tiny light. It couldn't be ignored. We knew exactly where she was on the stage as our eyes followed the light circles that swirled through the thick dark. It's amazing the difference one little light can make. Your little light is powerful..take it into the dark places. Be the difference, point others towards truth.
And like the song that children sing: this little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine..
Shine on, sweet ones.
