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

  3. Keep shining your light into the darkness and making the enemy flee!
    I wasn't brought up in the church, so I actually learned this song when I was teaching it in Sunday school to my little class of two year old children. A great memory for me as well...wow, that was '84. Have a great Easter!
