This Little Light Of Mine
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."
~Jesus
Have you ever thought about how many times LIGHT has been used in history? Before Paul Revere ever went to ride in Lexington, Massachusetts, he had to wait for a signal! Just like before we make a life-changing decision, we must wait for God’s signal! There is an old song that goes:
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine
Those are possibly the most powerful words that a Christian can use. Think about it! What are you pledging to God when you tell him you are his for a lifetime? You are pledging to be an example of Christ, for other people to see! Do you remember the next part of the song?
Don’t let satan blow it out
I’m gonna let it shine!
That is next important thing! When you are an early Christian it is most important to keep a strong stance against the tricks that the devil has or is putting under your feet! He is always going to try to make you stray, but here is another song that shows how God is protecting you.
He has the whole, wide world in his hand
Nothing, nothing can pull you from the hand of God! The Bible says:” I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. "
John 10:28
No one, not even the devil can snatch you out of the Father’s hand! He loves you so much!
So here’s the punch line: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
—John 3:16
So where are you going to go?
Here’s a poem if wrote
I wake up
Take out the dog
Go to work
Try not to yawn
Strange, I hear nothing
Then I hear it
Screeching, it was like it was in slow motion
Then pain
Then nothing
I hear doctors saying, “this isn’t going to work”
I be
I am simply being
I have no body
I hear nothing
See nothing
Say nothing
Then slowly, softly
I see a light
Not harsh but sweet
I don’t have legs
I think myself to the light
I see Him
Surrounded by light
And cherubim
I start to cry but no tears flow
He looks at me and says
“Good job my child, now let’s go home”
So if you were to die today
Do you know where you would go?
Heaven with golden streets?
Or hell down below?
