This little light of mine --
Even a little light changes the nature of darkness --
Getting past the I can'ts --
I can't ... I have such a small light --
Label your light, know what kind of light you are, and shine brightly --
I can't ... I might fail --
Evangelism is not all up to you --
I can't ... I don't want to get involved --
When we don't get involved, we oppose others' coming to Christ --
I can't ... I don't want to offend --
Choose to either illuminate or eliminate the truth --
I can't ... I don't have a dramatic story to tell --
Every faith story describes God changing a life : know yours and how to tell it --
I can't ... I don't know all the answers --
Know what you know and then grow to know some more --
I can't ... I don't know how to relate to people who aren't like me --
God doesn't change but we may need to change how we express him to others --
From darkness to light --
Just as there is a process to conversion, evangelism is a process --
Grabbing on to the I cans --
I can ... accept others the way they are --
Expect nonbelievers to act like nonbelievers --
I can ... be a friend --
Belonging comes before believing --
I can ... be real --
Vulnerability is believability --
I can ... help my children know the Jesus I know --
Children give more of what they know of themselves to more of what they know of Jesus --
I can ... offer hope in the daily minutes of life --
Respond to the "strays" in your days, shine in the unexpected moments --
I can ... partner with others --
Sometimes it takes a village to lead someone to the light --
I can ... offer help and hope in crisis --
Light promises hope in the dark spots of life --
I can ... serve --
Put your faith into action and let others watch --
I can ... accept the doubts in others --
Doubting is a necessary part of the journey to faith --
I can ... share my faith at holidays --
Let the holidays explain themselves through celebration --
I can ... leave room for wonder --
Leave room for the mystery of the unexplainable --
I can ... keep trying even when it seems hopeless --
Never, ever give up, unreachable stars are still within God's grasp --
I can ... trust God with the results of my efforts --
When you don't know someone's faith decision, trust the one who judges fairly --
I can ... leave a legacy of light --
Light the way home, even in your absence, you can leave a legacy of light. |
