Let your light so shine!


Recently, I heard a song by Addison Road that really touched me.

Please listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVeB7ACVgO0

"There's a little flame inside a soul
Some shine bright
Some shine small
The rains will come
And the waters rise
But don't you ever lose your light

In this life you will know
Love and pain
Joy and sorrow
So when it hurts
When times get hard
Don't forget who's child you are

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm Gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

With the ones you love
Treasure the timeMay you live each day
With no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
And your eyes get wide
When you look at the stars
With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart

And for those who are gone
Keep the memories alive

Hold on to your dreams
Don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you
Burning with hope"


You may think God can't use you to make a difference. God CAN use you - whether you are a new Christian or you've been saved for years. There will be hard days. There will be tough times. God can use your trials and tribulations to reach others for Him. Stay focused on Him - He is our Prize and our Portion. He is our Deliverer and our Redeemer! He is our Light in a darkened world. He will turn our tears to laughter, sadness to joy and turn our dim lights to the brightness and excitement of Times Square.

Let this be our prayer TODAY - "May you live each day, With no regret, Make the most of every chance you get, And your eyes get wide, When you look at the stars, With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart"

You're light may be dim at the moment - but it's time to let it SHINE in a darkened world. Matthew 5:16 says, "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." God can use YOU and He will use YOU if you let Him in.

"This little light of mine - I'm going to let it shine."
