Are You a Light?

Do you love candle light? I do. As soon as autumn begins, I buy candles.. Sometimes I turn out the lamp light to enjoy the warm, natural light of my candles.

THE CANDLE

In summer holiday I bought a book, written by C.H Spurgeon. And yesterday I've read what he wrote about candles. I mean; about: The Candle:

I like our translator’s reading the word candle — “Neither do men light a candle,” for nowadays a candle is the smallest of all lights. We almost despise a candle in these days of the electric light, yet small lights are useful and tiny lamps have their sphere.

MANY LIGHTS

I readed that God has many small lights. In His great house He has candles as well as stars and He would not have even a small light wasted. Even the most twinkling ray of light is of God’s kindling.

You are a little light, but if the Lord has given you even a spark of the sacred fire, He means that you should shine! Your light, my friend, may be but a farthing rushlight, but you must not hide it, for all lights are of God and are sent with a kind and gracious purpose by the great Father of lights.

TOO SMALL?

Is your light too small in your eye? Maybe. In God's eye? No. God taught me yesterday that it doesn't matter how big or small your candle is! 

C.H. Spurgeon:
Your light, my friend, may be but a farthing rushlight, but you must not hide it, for all lights are of God and are sent with a kind and gracious purpose by the great Father of lights. The church and the world need all the light that has been provided and much more.
