This Little Light of Mine

 Dear reader, do you remember that children's song "This Little Light of Mine?" It was so simple, yet so profound. It comes from Jesus' teaching on the Sermon on the Mount. 

Matthew 5:14-16 NIV [14]  “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 

What does it mean? You are an influence to everyone around you. As Christians, people should see Jesus through us. They should feel the love of Jesus surging through us. They should experience the love of Jesus through the good deeds or the "fruit" He bears in our lives by the Holy Spirit working within us. 

Just like the moon shines because it reflects the Sun's light, we should reflect Jesus in our lives. The moon doesn't try to reflect the sun's rays, it is just in the right position to do so. We are in the same positon. We are God's children, so we are positoned to reflect the love of Jesus in our lives everyday. 

Just like there are "influencers" all over social media, we are influencers also. Be available for Jesus to use the gifts and talents that He has given you to influence the world around you. He will bear the "fruit"in your life, by His Holy Spirit within us. He will accomplish His goals through you, which is people getting saved and added to the family of God, the Kingdom of God. People will see our good works and praise God for it!!

"Let it shine all the time, let it shine!!"
