This Little Light of Mine
CGG Weekly by Gary MontgomeryLight serves as a powerful symbol of goodness and truth in a world often shrouded in darkness. As a small candle can cast its beams far, so too can a good deed illuminate a corrupt environment. Jesus commands that our light should shine before others, so that through our good works, people may glorify our Father in Heaven. Even the feeblest light amidst the darkest hour holds value, showing that no sincere and humble life is lived in vain. In the profound darkness of a cavern, a single match can reveal the surroundings, demonstrating how even a small light can overpower immense darkness. This world often embraces darkness, where many believe their misdeeds remain hidden. Yet, the light of God surpasses all, penetrating and exposing hidden actions, for nothing remains concealed from Him. Jesus declares Himself as the true light of the world, promising that those who follow Him will not dwell in darkness. We are called to let this light guide us, to understand spiritual truths, and to live illuminated lives. By walking in the fullness of His light and practicing deeds that please Him, our light will shine brightly in an increasingly darkening world, reflecting love and kindness through our actions.
