Now how do we walk in the light? Well, your little light shines every time you smile at someone, or do a good deed for them. Also when you take the time to help someone in need, or share God's Word with another. When you reach out to someone who is suffering with pain or sorrow. Thus when, through you actions, you show others what being a Christian is all about. Thus: LOVE YOU NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. MATTHEW 19:19MATTHEW 19:19
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Now, if you think your little light is a dim one, well perhaps, as I believe, our little lights are magnified in the immense mirror of God's Love. Perhaps His reflectors are our hearts, spreading the flame of kindness to one another. Therefore, why not shine you light on others today? You will not only help them but it will warm your heart as well!
In Closing, just think, "If everyone would light, just one little candle, what a bright World this would be." Amen.
Let us walk in the Light.

Now, may you have a bright shiny day that is filled with God's Love! Amen.

As Childern of Light our actions shoul reflect our faith, and shine brightly to others. We should never be afraid to show our faith no matter where we are, or who we are with. After all we are beacons of God's Love shining out into dark World that is searching for love in all the wrong places. A World that is full of people without love, hope and faith.
Therefore our Savior Jesus Christ stressed this truth in the Sermon on the Mount, for He said "YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. 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." MATTHEW 5:14-15MATTHEW 5:14-15

Thus it truly shines brightly when we tell others about our Heavenly Father, and show goodness toward the people in our lives! So try it today and see for yourself, for if everyone would light just one little candle what a bright World this would be! Amen
