This is the title of a narrative I included in my book entitled, The Way to Becoming a Total Person: Poems that Inspire" published in Brainerd, MN in 2004.
As a person, I believe that we are born in this world with a mission. Each one of us is unique. However, we have similarities and differences.In whatever manner we live our lives is our own choice. We practice the gift of choice that God had given us. I have always looked at choice as a gift, freedom, an opportunity and a privilege.How about you? Do you look at choice the same way,too?
"You are the light of the world! A man does not light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket! He sets it in a lamp stand where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, your light must shine before men so that they may see goodness in your acts and give praise to the Heavenly Father."
Matthew 5:14-16
How many amongst us do really light our candles and share the light to others? The many tragedies, hardships, misfortunes, afflictions and miseries are coming onto people's way everyday. We are very resilient as a people. We can always pick up and move on forward. There are still many people in this world who inspire others. There are still a lot who give and extend help to the unfortunate ones. There are always people who step forward and dedicate themselves for a good cause. I thank God these kind of people exist. The goodness in a person always surfaces out no matter how big or small it can be. We, all of us can share our gifts!
Do you think you have a gift you can share? Give it. Share it. Keep it. Hide it. That is your choice! You have the choice to make a difference or not. You have the choice to do as you please.
You have the choice! Do you intend to keep that light glowing and extend the light to the person next to you? The decision is up to you!
It's all up to us to share and give our light to men around us.
"Share your gift, the initial spark God planted in your heart. Even a spark, your little gift can become a flame."
Taking life as it comes ....
Be serene and yet cheerful ! It creates the beauty in you ......
