This little light

Just an ordinary little candle but it caught my attention. The candle looks plain enough but look at the light surrounding it! The beauty of its symmetry is outstanding! Something does not have to be big to be beautiful. Listen to the words of Jesus:

Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
Mat 5:15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
World English Bible
I remember the song I have heard in church many, many times: This little light of mine. Targeted toward the very young, it teaches that the light from God (our faith and its practice) should be shared with others. What a lesson! This means I don't have to be a super anything, just a person who is trying to follow God and help others do the same. If God is in you, it doesn't matter who you are, your light will be beautiful because God is. Children accept this concept easily; its too bad adults have a hard time with it. LORD, help us all to be more like little children!
