What causes a candle to burn, the wick or the flame?
And what keeps it consumed? 
You will see all these things in a flame...
How it is strongest in its stillness
How weak and frail its wick is
How it relies on wax for replenishment
What makes it burn?
What gives it its glow?
Look through the flame and you will know what weakness and strength really is
When there is much motion, the flame is most volatile
Susceptible to external conditions
Easily blown out
But, when it is still, its stillness gives it strength
To lap up wax around it and feed on its consistency
Many things I notice in watching a candle...
How good God is
How we too must feed on His consistency
When we are still, we are made strong
Lest we become susceptible to forces external to us
To be blown out
So I, as the wick, see my fragility and marvel at its ability to be sustained
To carry a flame
On fire but not consumed
Weak, limp, bent, and burnt but still… in a lover's swoon carrying fire
Clinging to it and shining brightly on its behalf
This is our Spirit, blue flames purest at the core, every one of us
Shine Brightly.
God reveals himself in strange places, sometimes in these fleshly vessels but today God revealed himself as a candle. In symbolism, observe God’s nature…
