The Candle

I was thinking about us as Christians, being a light in this world, and that we are called to let our light shine in the darkness of this world.
And that we are to die to self. To melt away and destroy the flesh in our lives.
I looked at a candle and saw how it stands there looking real nice, but it is cold and of no use really unless it is lit.
Much like us as people, we can look good, but unless we are on fire by the Holy Spirit, we wont make a difference in this life.
In the lighting of the candle, we can see the flesh burn away and change the candle from a dead thing into a living .. warm light!
When I looked at the candle that was burning, all the flesh of the candle was melting away and being destroyed as the candle burnt away.
The wonderful thing was as the flesh was being destroyed and burnt, the light burned brightly and the glow was seen all over the room. As the flesh died its glow and light got more and more.
As Christians we are to let our flesh die and burn away...... Dead to self....but alive to HIM! Less of me Lord, and more of You!
Let my light shine for YOU!
Jesus The Light Of The World!
In His Love
