This is one of those times I wish I could take credit for a great story.

If you don’t know who Christine Caine is, you need to get to know her and the mission that she is on. You can find her at http://www.equipandempower.org and see what she and her husband Nick are up to for the Kingdom of God.

The last time Christine was in Oklahoma City visiting Victory Church, www.vc.tv , she told the story of her daughter and her at at local store shopping for a few things when her daughter asked if she could get a flashlight. Of course that’s understandable, don’t you remember when you were a child how cool it was to shine a flashlight around outside or even in your bedroom after the sun went down? Good times!

Back to the story….. she got the flashlight and with it in hand and it still being daylight, the little girl made a great statement. This is where I’d love to take credit. She said “Mumm (said with an Australian accent) let’s go find some dark to shine the light into.”

Isn’t that what Jesus wants us to do? Find some dark to shine His light into?

Are you that shining light?

Being the light is good!

Genesis 1:2-4 

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.

John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Matthew 5: 13-16

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
