The first thing God created was light. Our very lives depend on light. Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. We, as Christ followers, are to be a light to the world. We are called to be light hearted, to shine our light on others. There is not enough darkness in the entire world to put out the light of even one small candle. Shine your light. What are we here for anyway?
