Light of the World As I was changing some light bulbs around the house this week a realization came to me concerning Gods children being the light of the world. In one room we have 4 can lights and one of them were out. It did not appear to be a big deal as there seemed to be plenty of light in the room to see well enough and it has been out for a month so what is the big deal anyway. As i changed the bulb and turned the lights back on I was amazed at how just one more light changed the atmosphere of the entire room, I had become use to the dim corner and really did not notice the lack of light in that corner but once the bulb was replaced it was evident there was darkness that needed light to balance the room out. Instantly I thought how this simple example can apply to the dark/dim areas in the world, we get used to these areas and really give no thought to them but once another’s light is introduced into this we see how much darkness was there that we had become so used to. With each and every christian that truly let’s their light shine - that much more darkness is removed. We are called to be the light of the world and when only one of us are not it make a difference and when several of us are not it makes a big difference. Let your light shine, your light is vital to exposing darkness and bringing glory to the Kingdom of God. Remember that song we sang as a child “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine”
