Burning through to Eternity..

Burning through to Eternity..

I am not on earth for a long marathon or a brief sprint and then gone. Nope. I am here purposefully to make the most out of race and then hand over the baton to the next generation. It may not really matter how long i live or how many laps i do, it's about understanding my course, running with determination and resilience as well as being faithful to ensure it doesn't end with me by passing on the baton to those waiting in the line and representing the team I was chosen for by God. 

Being a light to the world, my intention is to ensure each day i am burning more brightest and shining my light to many others as well as lighting the candles of those on my destiny path that we may brightly shine together. 

I will not be snuffed out by life's afflictions or grow cold, I will burn down to the last wick in the wax when my life ends. When that time comes, i will just have finished my burning life and will have gracefully extended myself to light other candles around me who will extend themselves to another and another and another.. we will just keep burning in different generations but together we will light many and keep the fire alive, fulfilling God's purpose to eternity. 

The centre of attraction is not on me as the candle, it is the light i bear. If i go off, i am useless in this dark world. If i do not light another candle, i will burn out faster, i will be lonely and after i am spent, the whole room will fall back into the thick darkness.. I will have miserably failed!

My concern is that my candle will not go off before another has been lit to even burn brighter than i. 

I am a mentor. I am willing to extend what God has called me to do to others and through others. The dream is bigger than me, meaning i do not have the capacity on my own. Those who come my way do not have to grope in the darkness for the matchbox, they just need to bend over to my light and be ignited with fire. They do not have to make the same mistakes, go through the same pain, suffer the same agony. It's not necessary. They will just need to find their way to where i am as i light the path for them, get their own fire ignited and then proceed to other rooms in the world and light more candles, transform more lives and keep the legacy going. I am a candle type of a mentor.
