This Little Light of Mine

Saturday and Sunday was the annual fall festival of lights in Kumamoto.  The sights were absolutely beautiful, so I want to share a few with you.

As I’ve been thinking about lights lately, one Bible passage stands out in my mind.  In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus says, “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.  In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

Here are a few questions to consider as we think about our own lives.

1.     How did your light shine today?  This week?

2.     When do you do good deeds for your own glory?  For God’s glory?

3.    What do people learn about God and his nature by spending time with you?

4.  Recently, how have you pointed others toward God through your words and actions?

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, let it shine, let it shine.
