I have a beautiful crystal candle holder. It is shaped like a flower with crystal petals. When the sunlight shines on it, it is like a starburst of light. It almost glows as it casts light around the room. It is stunning!
One night the lights were off in the room and I noticed that it was still visible and beautiful in the darkness. I was trying to understand why I could still see so much beauty.
Then I realized the light from my phone was enough for it to receive and reflect among the petals. I call it my starburst candle holder and it showed me that if even the littlest light hits you or is in you, you can shine in the darkness.
Circumstances may not be what you want them to be yet, but if you maintain the goodness in you, your integrity, perseverance and faith, you can still have an impact, make a difference and experience progress. The light in you is real and darkness cannot maintain itself where light is.
Keep going.
