Shine Your Light





The countenance of the young man

Revealed a long, saddened face,

So the teacher sat beside him,

Wrapping him in her embrace.



Dark and gloomy, his heart outpoured

His feelings of deep despair,

For at last someone would listen,

So he opened up to share.



�My friend is having some problems,

And I don�t know what to do.

What do I say to comfort him?

He is really feeling blue.�



The teacher closed the curtains tight

And shut off the room�s bright light;

While holding closely onto to him,

She gave him a small flashlight.



She said, �Now turn this small light on.�

And at once the room did glow.

Then his face brightened with a smile

And he said, �Thanks, I must go.�



�You�ve helped me here to clearly see

That it�s not in words I say,

But being there to shine my light

Will brighten another�s day.



"Someone like you just to listen,

Someone to love and to care,

Someone to shine a light for them

And all of their burdens share.



"As Jesus shines His light through me,

I know I will find a way

To help my friend to bear his load

And to brighten up his day."



The teacher said, �You keep this light

And everywhere you go,

Remember you�re to shine your light

For others who need you so."

1 ~ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 ~ And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 ~ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 ~ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 ~ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 ~ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 ~ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 ~ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 ~ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 ~ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 ~ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 ~ Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 ~ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 ~ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 ~ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 ~ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

( Matthew 5: 1-16 )(KJV)


Can others see your light for the Lord?
