The song is NOT about you….

Did you know that the popular childrens’ song “This Little Light of Mine” is not about YOU?

Nope!

It’s about Jesus!

Jesus is the light that should not be hidden.

The song’s context is taken from Mark 4:21:

Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket? No!  Or under a bed and not on a stand? For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest. Nor is anything secret except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. And he said to them, pay attention. To what you hear, with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. And still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given. And from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

He himself, as the light of the world, was hidden under human flesh and revealed through his resurrection. 🙌
Jesus is the light of the world, veiled under human likeness and flesh. 
And, it will come to light. 
But not in how the people or the world or you and I sometimes think it will.
Not in miracles or political kingdoms or in riches and wealth.
But in the glory of the cross.
