candles in the darkness

Go light your world, is what comes to mind when I see this picture.
"There is a candle in every soul
some brightly burning, some dark and cold" This is an excerpt from a Chris Rice song, that I absolutely love. We, as Christians, are to be brightly burning lights to this dark world around us.

We are not to try to blend in, but we are to be different. Different, not as in odd, but in a good way. Where people around us notice that we have something that they do not have. Something that makes a difference, that gives us the inner joy through the good and the bad times of life. It's our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who is our Life!

Christ is all I need, and I am complete in Him! It hit me again this morning during elementary chapel, while the kids were singing "All in All" on the top of their lungs. There is nothing more precious than children singing from their hearts to the Lord. Just the pure joy exuberating on their faces as they make a joyful noise.
