Light Of The World

I found this on YouTube in a previous entry. I love this pretty song. It’s secular but it’s based on words spoken by Jesus.
Jesus said in John 8:12,
“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Jesus also commanded Christians to do works which will cause His lovely light to shine through the kindnesses we show others 🙂 Matthew 5:14-16 express Jesus’ command and are verses in found in the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5:14-16,
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

A prayer for myself from my heart:
Dear Heavenly Father,
May my life glorify your holy name,
Jesus, may the welcoming light of your love radiate through me,
help me have ambition to find opportunities to help others
and teach my children the fulfilling joy of unselfishly helping others!!!!!! 🙂
