We are the wax in a candle. God is our container (and more—but for this we are using the container as an example). With His sturdy foundation we are held up. We are formed in His image. We are molded into the specific container that we are made for. Without the container, we wouldn’t be. Jesus is the wick. He is in us, in our core. The wick is between the container and the wax (at the bottom), the ground. The wick goes all the way, in our core, to the top and beyond. The fire, well the fire is the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit light you up! Now, no two candles are exactly the same. Sure, maybe they have the same aroma or color or label or price, but if you really look there are still differences between them. If you look at two Wal-Mart brand vanilla candles—maybe one wick is higher, maybe one candle has bubbles, maybe discolored a little. There is a difference! Now, once we understand God is the container, the foundation, we are the wax (all a little different), Jesus is the wick, He is our core, and we have let the Holy Spirit light us up, then we release our sweet aroma and it spreads into the atmosphere! Just like candles on a birthday cake, our lighted wick can be used to light up others. Let the fire spread! Just think about it, if we were all lit up and everyone’s aroma was spreading, it would be a “sweet world”!!

I am called to do many things, we are all called to tell the world about the gospel and this is one way to do so. I will allow the Holy Spirit to fill me and work through me and give me the words to write to tell you all about His glory and His messages to all of us.
