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.

My instructions from God. I remember the song I learned when I was a child "this little light of mine". At that time i thought the importance of that song was waving my finger in the air pretending it was a candle.... Oh how I was so wrong. "This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine". Now I see it so differently. God called me to my salvation so that I can follow his word and show other people the amazing life of a child reborn of God. The song goes on to say: "not gonna let Satan blow it out I'm gonna let it shine"... Wow! Amen to kids songs!!! The book of Matthew tells us "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." This is a simple instruction! Do not hide your love for God, let it shine bright! Shine so all of mankind can see the glow from miles away. Do not pass up a chance to do something good for someone or something.... Show them how gracious our father is through these works so that they will believe and follow God. Or maybe just be an inspiration to someone. My goal is to be the salt and the light!
