Where is your light?
No one lights a light and puts it under a bushell but on the lampstand..... let your light shine for others to see.....Just as we need light to see in the dark, we need spiritual light for discernment. Light is very important to life, without light there is no life both sphysically and spiritually. Jesus is the light of the world for it was through him and for him and with him everything was created, the Word that became the light  (John 1: 1-5) At Baptism, the baptized is given a light to keep burning till the Lord returns........and as we go through life,  this light of faith should be kept burning, enlightening our path (Ps 119:105) and drawing others also. We have been given light to be light for others.
God is light as in him there is no darkness, nothing is hidden from Him, and even the darkness is not dark for Him... Light is an expression of the inner beauty and truth of God for in His light, we see light {Ps. 36:10) .therefore when we remain in Him, we remain in light.  God's grace not only illumines the darkness in our lives but it also fills us with spiritual light, joy, and peace. Just as natural light illumines the darkness and enables us to see, so the light of Christ shines in the hearts of believers and enables us to see the heavenly beauty of God's  love. In fact our mission in life is to be the light of the world in word and deed so that others may see the truth of the Gospel and be freed from the blindness of sin and deception.
What has happened to the light given to each Baptized Christian? Godparents, you have been entrusted with this light for your Godchildren, what has happened since their Baptism? as a lamp needs oil to keep burning, so do we need the oil of  the Holy Spirit to help us understand the Word to enlighten our path; to help us see and perceive. How do you make this little light of yours keep shining?  Remain connected to Jesus - the true light. Be not overcome by the darkness but become transformed into His image......May the fire of His love consume the chaff within us as we become like twinkle twinkle little stars  lightening up the world.in which you live!.... ......
