The Torch Within

We each carry a light 

So we'll not lose our way

To keep it burning bright

God's laws, we must obey

If we stumble or fall

Though for a time we grieve

And feel we've missed our call

This light will never leave

For, it shines of Heaven

To reignite the soul

Through birthright given

So each may find his role

Here, as we race along,

We each know in our hearts

How we can finish strong

For this light inside imparts

It brightens in truth

When dim, the heart warns

And where is light's proof?

When it's bright, love warms!

I love this truth!  How comforting it is to know that it cannot be extinguished.  What magnificence!  I thrill at thinking of this greatness that is given us!

"It’s human nature to stumble, fail, and sometimes want to drop out of the race. But as disciples of Jesus Christ, we have committed not only to begin the race but also to finish it—and finish it with our torch still burning brightly. The Savior promised His disciples, “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13).

Sometimes after stumbling, failing, or even giving up, we get discouraged and believe our light has gone out and our race is lost. But I testify that the Light of Christ cannot be extinguished. It shines in the darkest night and will relight our hearts if only we incline our hearts to Him (see 1 Kings 8:58)."
