The Spark Within

There’s a spark within each of us, igniting at birth, Guardian of our path, step by step. If we ignore it, shun it’s radiance, embrace the darkness, it will flicker and die. If we open the ears of our hearts, it will fan into flame to fuel our imaginations, build our hope, feed our energy, and give us life. Years fly by as a runaway train, scenery ever changing, but the spark remains our constant companion. It’s as alive when we’re old as it was in our youth. That spark is the Holy Spirit, voice of God.

Thank you, Daniel. Unfortunately, each of us inherited the same human nature at birth. Thank God for the chance to choose which path we will travel. And, thank God for the guide He has provided for us.
