A candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.
modified from a quote by Eva Logue
I’ve been thinking a lot about how the Lord has called me to complete abandonment to Him and to other people. I must truly “give myself away” to others. I must invest in those dear souls around me, especially in my family; I must be vulnerable to them. I must be an asset. I must give and give, with no thought of getting in return. My family must be able to say of me: “If she was not here, we would not be the same.”
Beautiful quote, Bryant. Beautiful picture also. Lord bless.
In Christ Alone,

As your extended family member, I want you to know how true that is… if you were not here, we would not be the same
What a truly awesome quote, Bryant!!! What a wonderful post– it’s something that’s been on my mind a lot lately, and the quote and your thoughts really just summed it all up for me!! :)
Thanks for sharing!!
Love Ya!
thank you bryant for sharing that post…it was put down very powerfully! i appreciate your evident desire to please Jesus in everything you do–evident in your writings…but also evident in your presence. keep giving all to the Master!
Hi Bryant,
I see evidence of these attitudes expressed every day by you in our family. And we indeed would not be the same if you were not there, or if you were there but did not express these attitudes. Thank you for giving yourself to us in our family. I am so pleased with you and so proud of you.
Love,
Daddy
What a beautiful sentiment. If only I were able to say the same. Thank you for the encouragement.
