God make my life a little light

God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

God make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.

God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.

God make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.

God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith, that never waxeth dim,
In all His wondrous ways.

the light of the world

today when i was rearranging some handphone photos,
an underexposed photo of NLC came into my sight.
the white cross on top of our church was so shiny as compare to the background.
so i decided to process the photo into an artwork.

when i editing the photo, focusing on the shiny light, i remembered a verse:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."(John 8:12)
It encourages me to live in the light of life.
I hope the others can be benefited from this also,
so i made it a wallpaper of 1440*900 as according to my desktop size,
can be downloaded by clicking the image above.

and thinking more from the light of the world,

Matthew 5:14-16 (New International Version)
¹⁴"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Brothers and sisters, do you know that not only Jesus Christ is the light of the world, so are we!
We need to live out up to our standard so the we can be a living testimony to this world.
