God's Lamp In A Dark World

 The human spirit is God's lamp in a dark world of sin and suffering. We are not created with the capacity to shine ourselves - only the Light of Christ within our regenerated human spirit (our new born-again life in Christ), can illuminate the spirit of humans and shed light in a dark world.
 The lamp is not that Light of God but the vessel through which the Light of Christ may shine - illuminating our hearts and shining forth the Light of Christ and the Love of God to a lost and dying world.
 But before we can be used effectively by Him, we should welcome His inner scrutiny into our inner being and willingly submit to His searching of our hearts, our hidden thoughts, and our secret motives so that we may be fit vessels to shine forth His Light to others.
The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a great joy and privilege it is to know that Your Holy Spirit dwells in the inner sanctuary of our hearts. We pray that You would search us and identify and correct any faults You find within. May our lives be used by You as a lamp, to shine forth the life and light of Christ that dwells in us. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
