Just a Little Light Will Do
...michael a. bengwayan...
As an early riser I learn a lesson each cold morning about the truth of spiritual life. From the light on my veranda beaming down on my fruit trees, illuminating dark grotesque shadows of the pine forest, a late bat swooping off to her cave, roosters crowing to greet the day and moths hovering around the warm spotlights, each day is a promise met by the Lord.
Each day is hope and it doesn’t take a whole lot of light to have hope. Even if the sun were to shine just one fourth of its brightness, it will be bright enough, that it gives hope enough. Because there is so much darkness in the world. So much hatred, ugliness and division. Racism and injustices prevail, apathy, intolerance and uncaring are prevalent. Greed, lust, and anger continue to dominate the scene. Wars and conflicts are in the news daily. The amount of darkness in the world is staggering, so much so that we may wonder if there is any hope for the world. But there is hope. Darkness can be defeated. It doesn’t take a lot of light to dispel the darkness. That’s why it’s so important that we let our light shine. as Jesus let His light shine.
As the “Light of the world,” he called each of us to be the light to
others. And to do so, it only takes a spark as the song goes. Each day,
give that hope to others. Good morning folks.
