The Christ

There is a true light that lights                                                               
everyone that comes into the world.*
As a child, I felt and sensed it repeatedly.
I was driven to do THE RIGHT and not the wrong.
But that meant that I would often walk apart and alone.
This appears to be the first expression of Christ's flame.

Into my early teens the flame grew more intensely.
This second burning came in the form of 'A sense of CALLING'.
There was a knowing and a deep desire for God's plan for me.

The third flame comprises the JOURNEY leading to my destiny.
It's no secret that each flame feeds on the other's energy.
Therein is the reason we need the flames to reach destiny.
Righteous desire; A calling; The Journey
