The Ember.

Another channelled piece of prose. Make of it what you will!

 

An ember still burns where goodness lies.

Its glow illuminates all around it penetrating the darkness

of minds closed to the light.

Its heat warms those whose lives come close to it,

but those whose hearts are hard and cold cannot feel its warmth, its life, its energy.

Only those whose hearts are open to the light can feel its love, its life, its warmth.

Only those whose lives are still enough to feel can experience the nurturing of it’s light, it’s warmth, it’s love.

To bring this glowing ember of light to the hearts of those who can accept it becomes the overriding desire of those who can carry it.

To lift the hearts of men to new heights requires sacrifice and a life lived in surrender.

To those who choose to carry the embers of love we say this: never fear that your lives are worthless.

Never think that your actions have no effect on those around you.

Do not worry that your life is futile in the eyes of others,

but trust in your innate goodness and your god-given talents and all that you need will be given to you.

Live a life in joy and in surrender and your life will mean something.

It may not be apparent to others but you will know.

And that is enough.

LOL, I couldn't resist looking at the picture that you have added to your title while I was just getting ready to close my review here. Oooops, guess you can't do that and keep what was already written. Your picture though is very beautiful and a great choice for this wonderful inspiring write.

Your words are a gentle reminder to your reader to not close your eyes to what is still there to be seen, your heart to what can still be given in love. There is still much good in this world but we tend to always focus on all that is wrong. Because of that, hearts are closed, and we all suffer as the small ember is allowed to be extinguished. Even one small ember can bring a roaring fire. Take away the ember, the spark, and there is no growth of the flame. I especially like your message of living your life as you feel it should be lived and to not worry about how others may perceive you. We all do make a difference in this vast world in which we live. Wonderful message. Beautiful write. Loved It. Blessings, Lesa
