Dear Young Christian:

I recently noted an article on one of the great 19th century French painters, Anne-Louis Girodet, (January 5th, 1767-December 9th, 1824). In his later years he seemed to think that he worked best at night, and so to provide for light, he wore a wide-brim hat and positioned candles around the brim. Forty candles was the maximum illumination he needed. He also based his fees for commissioned work on the number of candles used during his work.

This made me think what the Lord Jesus said to His disciples while here on earth. “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:15-16). Just as the artist worked by letting the light of the candles shine on his canvas, so we are to shine for the Lord while in the spiritually dark night that envelops this world. “Ye are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
