Sometimes I wonder why I named this blog as I did. On the day I was starting it, I had thoughts of a life well orchestrated, organized though with mishaps here and there, with some light at the end of the tunnel, then id never go wrong.I knew id stumble and probably fall, but id be determined to wake up since there is something attractive, something beautiful, ever so bright you want to keep walking towards it. I had my lil man in mind, I want him to have a bright life.
I therefore chose a candle, its my little light that il keep shinning, a candle is good. It can light up for others to see and their candles to start giving light too. It is until today that i actually realized, its more than a candle. Its is spiritual. It is biblical.
" In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven." (Matt 5; 16)
I read this blog on the same and realized, we are called to serve in our own little ways. This little light of mine IL let it shine in all ways no matter how small. IL echo these words once more;
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were
born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just
in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates
others.”
