This little light of mine....

Pastor Ellen said my writing is wonderful and that I am that "light" which allows others to see God. She said I need to be like a "lighthouse" so others who need to see Jesus can do so. Pastor Ellen said I am his "beam" that allows others to see Him.

At this point I feel as though I am only a "night light", not shining very brightly. Maybe that's the best way for me to start though, since it would be kind of "blinding" to everybody with having a sudden "spotlight" shining in their eyes which would only cause them to look away while squinting their eyes.

It's probably best to start off as a dim light which will glow brighter as my faith increases. As the dimmer switch controlling the light within me gradually glows brighter and brighter, people around me will be able to "see" the difference in me, having grown closer to Jesus in a deeper relationship with him.

I think I am a "soft white" light bulb which is soothing and not so glaringly bright. Eventually I will be an "energy star incandescent light bulb" which starts out dim when first turned on but gradually get brighters with time.

In God's time I will be happy to shine His beam and be a lighthouse for Him as he calls me to do so. Pastor Ellen will help me at the "circuit breaker" and change any "blown fuses" for me in the meantime.

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