This little light of mine

Believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. John 12:36 I remember a song called this when I was little and the verse hide it under a bushel NO. ha ha i loved that part. The light it is referring to is the light of God. God lives and is a part of all of us. So therefore once we accept him as our father we become children of the light. God will light a fire in each one of us. The very thing that makes us excited to be a Christian. Sometimes it may be just a flame or sometimes It may be a whole fire. The point is don't ever let the light go out. aka dont ever give up on God. You can be used like a flashlight. If you think about it a flashlight brings light to the darkness. If you have the light you can bring light to the darkness as well weather you know it or not. God said to make the Bible a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path. The enemy will flee at any sight or any mention of the light because he hates light. Hes like a vampire that feasts on the weak in the night. Our God however, He is the creator of light. He is limitless and he cares a lot about you. you are precious to him. He hates to see his children hurting so the light will set you free. God= light. Todays song is called this little light of mine by addison road. As you read or listen, Think about the words. There is two lines in this songs that gets me every time. " In this life you will know love and pain, joy and sorrow so when it hurts and times get hard don't forget whose child you are." Gods love to us is relentless. Why cant our love to him be relentless?  The other one is "the rains will come and the waters rise but dont you ever loose your light"  It means no matter how much something hurts God will not give up on you. The light will still be there. You just might have to search a little harder to make it stay put. Its like a fire you have to put wood on it to keep rekindling it. If you dont it will go out.  So This Little Light of mine by addison road.
There's a little flame inside us all
Some shine bright
Some shine small
The rains will come
And the waters rise
But don't you ever lose your light

In this life you will know
Love and pain
Joy and sorrow
So when it hurts
When times get hard
Don't forget who's child you are

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm Gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

May you live each day
With no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
And your eyes get wide
When you look at the stars
With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart

With the ones you love
Treasure the time
And for those who are gone
Keep the memories alive

Hold on to your dreams
Don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you
Burning with hope

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

There will be days when you wanna give up
When clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun
Don't you ever forget
Don't forget
Don't, don't forget

One day there will be no more pain
And we will finally see Jesus' face
So until then I'm gonna try
To brave the dark
And let my little light shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine
Oh, shine
Gonna let it shine
There's a little light inside us all

Hope will lead us on

Hey sorry for the lack of post. i really am going to try to do better because i have to much so say to let it all go to waste. So I am in a season of life right now where every second I am alive comes from my hope in Jesus Christ. As long as I am here on this Earth he will use me according to his will and purpose for my life. As I was thinking about things over the last couple of days. I thought about other people and how sometimes they beleive that God has given up on them or doesnt love them or can never love them anymore and I thought, how sad. If you dont place your hope in something you have nothing to live for so why not place your hope and your life in God?  It is his anyway. God has put us here to love us and to be his instruments to show his love to other people and to serve him. So we must give our life over to him and give him what is rightfully his. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. And honoring God with your body means giving it to him. God loves each and every one of us the same. He is our heavenly Father. He will never forget about you nor he will never give up on you because everything works out for the good of those who love the Lord weather you believe it or not. He takes broken people and uses them to help others through times of hardship and strife. He takes broken people and that is who he chooses to be his disciples. Everyone is broken so that makes everyone the chosen. He also wants you to believe that he is all you need so that is why sometimes everything dont always turn out like we want it to. But he wants us to rely on him to strengthen our relationship wirh him because when you are walking in the light of Christ nothing can get in your way. Hebrews 13:5 tells us that he will never leave  us nor forsake us. So what do you put your hope in? Is it if you will get to see your friends or maybe you will win the lottery or maybe the boy or girl you like will ask you out. But the only true place for your hope to be in the lord. Todays song is an unreleased song by Barlow Girl. It is called "Hope will lead us on"

Rise up again
Shake off the shadows
Unlock the doors
and let hope live once more
Cause up from the ashes
oh the fire is walkin
Cause those who were broken,
are becoming the chosen

(Chorus)
So lift up your eyes
Cause we're not forgotten
And hope will lead us on
Oh we pray for the dawn
and we reach for the mornin
And hope will lead us on 

(Verse 2)
Come let us see
Beyond these moments
Open our eyes, to to see the truth that You see
Cause all that we know now
You're all we hold to
You can't disapoint us, it's safe here with You

(Chorus)
So lift up your eyes
Cause we're not forgotten
And hope will lead us on
Oh we pray for the dawn
and we reach for the mornin
And hope will lead us on 

And hope will lead us on
And hope will lead us on
And hope will lead us on
