This Little Light of Mine

By Dianne Baker Blakley - Northside A Church of Christ,  Conway Arkansas

When I was a child we would sing the following song in Bible class, it was sung regularly doing the Civil Rights Marches, and at school in music class. It appeared to be a song favorite of everyone by looking at the joy and smiles on people faces.

1. This little light of mine,
     I’m 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,
    let it shine, let it shine, oh let it shine.
2. Ev’rywhere I go,
    I’m gonna let it shine.
    Ev’rywhere I go,
    I’m gonna let it shine.
    Ev’rywhere I go,
    I’m gonna let it shine,
    let it shine, let it shine, oh let it shine.
3. Jesus gave it to me,
    I’m gonna let it shine.
    Jesus gave it to me,
     I’m gonna let it shine.
    Jesus gave it to me
    I’m gonna let it shine,
    let it shine, let it shine, oh let it shine.

In the Bible light has always been a symbol of holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, grace, hope, and God’s Revelation. The word light appears over 200 plus times in the Bible. Now just think how important it is for us to be a light in this world. To encourage each other and guide others to God. It is a very important task for us to be that light for God. A few of the following encouraging verses are some of my favorites I am sure each of you have a few favorites also.

  John 8:12. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

James 1:17. Every good gift and every perfect is from above coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Matthew 5:14  “You are the light  of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matthew 5:15  “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.

Matthew 5:16  “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

In closing, my prayer is that this will edify my sisters Christ. And if you are not a member of the body of Christ, my prayer is that your heart and mind will be open to seek what is needed for your Salvation, for the door is always open.

If you live in the Philadelphia area, I encourage you to contact the Mt. Airy Church of Christ to study and learn about God.

If you live in the Conway, Arkansas area, I encourage you to contact Northside A Church of Christ to study and learn about God.

And if you need any information for a church location in any state, let us know. We can help you locate a Church of Christ.
