John 1:5 NLT, The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it.

One Sunday as they drove home from church, a little girl turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, there’s something about the pastor’s message this morning that I don’t understand."

The mother said, "Oh? What is it?" The little girl replied, "Well, the Pastor said that God is bigger than we are. He said God is so big that He could hold the world in His hand. Is that true?" 



The mother replied, "Yes, that’s true, honey." 

"But Mommy, he also said that God comes to live inside of us when we believe in Jesus as our Savior. Is that true, too?"

Again, the mother assured the little girl that what the pastor had said was true. With a puzzled look on her face the little girl then asked, "If God is bigger than us and He lives in us, why doesn’t He show through?"

My friend can I tell you that our purpose in life is to show Jesus to a lost and dying world. Is the Light of Jesus shining through your life? John 1:5 was not a suggestion, it was a command, we are commanded to shine in the midst of darkness.

And the great thing about shining this light is no matter what the enemy does, he can never extinguish it in our lives.

Today’s payer focus: God, let your light shine so that my arena of influence may see you through me!
