"Where are we going?" asked the candle.
"We're going up higher than the house to show ships the way to the harbour."
"But no ship in the harbour could ever see my light," said the candle. "It is so very small."
"If your light is small," the man said, "just keep burning brightly and leave the rest to me."
When they reached the top of the long steps, they came to a large lamp. Then he took the little candle and lit the lamp. Soon the great polished reflectors behind the lamp sent beams of light out across miles of sea.
We are God's taper! Our job is to keep on shining, and our effectiveness is in His hands.
