Читать книгу Our Higher Calling - Sherrell Byrd - Страница 15

How can a man or woman of God be a light unto the world when they have no light? It’s impossible! We are to help light the way for those who walk in darkness. But there must first be a light in us too. There can be no darkness in our souls or else we’re lost.

Proverbs reminds us that the spirit of God is like a candle. There are things within us that we may be unaware of, yet the Holy Spirit is able to shed light on them and take them out. God placed His spirit within us so that we may have light and understanding.

The “spirit of man” is a candle of the Lord. God uses us to give light to a dark, dark world. But the good part is that we have the ability to know right from wrong. Whatever you do, don’t snuff your candle.
