A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; 
It makes no noise at all, 
But softly gives itself away; 
While quite unselfish, it grows small. 
- Eva K. Logue


John the Baptist said of Jesus: "He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less." John 3:30 (NLT)

We are like candles that hold a flame, burning strong and bright the light of Christ. We softly give ourselves away, worshiping him and serving him, that we might become less and less, and that he might become greater and brighter through us.
