[pull_quote_center]That you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Philippians 2:15[/pull_quote_center]
The Word of God tells us who we are. We are the lights of the world. Ephesians 5:8 says, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” Same thing Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
We used to sing a song in those days:
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine!
It’s not enough to be a light, we must shine. It doesn’t matter if you are a great or small light, the only thing that matters is that you shine wherever you are. Just keep shining; make sure that you are shining; don’t go off for even a second because you were made to shine. “Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand” Jesus said, “shine!”
