My daughter bought me a candle
that was both gold and silver. This was a very pretty candle and I didn't know
if I wanted to light it or not. But I lit the candle before I sat to rest. As I
looked over at the candle, the gold and silver gleamed, it was a beautiful sight
to see.
Sitting there, I thought about being pretty on the
outside just like this candle. But it is when we accept Jesus that His light
shines forth beautifully from us to the lost and dying world.
We accept Jesus as our Lord and let His love shine
forth from us. It should be our desire to shine beautifully just like this
candle does.
Now when I pray and I ask our Lord to melt me, mold
me, fill me, and use me. I so want His light to shine beautifully from me to
others.
As the candle glowed the beauty only enhanced itself.
When we walk with Jesus His beauty in us enhances itself in us when we let go
and let Him shine forth.
