Be the Candle

I have seen it enough times that it ought to be (pun intended) burned into my mind, but each time I see it I am amazed and inspired all over again.  You have been there.  A bunch of people in a darkened room, everyone holds a candle but there is only one lit candle.  Another candle is lit from that one, then another from that one, until the whole room is well lit by all the candles.  That process is usually accompanied by music.  But whatever music is playing I always hear Pass It On by Kurt Kaiser:

“It only takes a spark, to get a fire going, and soon those all around can warm up to its glowing.  That’s how it is with God’s love, once you experience it.  You spread His love to everyone.  You want to pass it on.”

Be the candle.  Protect the flame.  Pass it on.
