This Little Light

of Mine

 

 

Somewhere in time, well always, I like light.  I don’t mind if every room in the house has its lights on.  Well I don’t mind until the electric bill comes in. Its good I live in a sunny place, its light and bright most days.

Growing up there was a song we sang in Sunday school, this little light of mine. 

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

Matthew 5:16New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

I haven’t felt much like a light this week.  I have been working so much overtime, that I’m starting to get really tired and a lot grouchy. On my way out someone asked me if I had looked at a project and I told them no and I wouldn’t, my plate was full.  It was then that I realized my little light is buried under that mound of paperwork.

God likes to gently remind me when I’m not as nice as I should be.  Coming home, I realized in this dark world, I may be the only light people see.  If I bury it, or burn it out even, what good will it do?

I have made a resolution to let my little light shine.  Scratch that, I want my little light to be so strong it becomes a bonfire.  Maybe that bonfire can burn up this mound of paperwork – just a thought.
