LOL 6-17 Light One Life's fire

Last October, a student that I dearly loved took her own life. 180 LOL postings later, I still struggle spiritually and emotionally with her decision, mostly because I feel guilty... Guilty that I wasn't able to save her. But during our praise and worship time in church this morning, God opened my eyes to a new perspective. I am not God. I am not meant to save the world. My purpose on earth is to glorify Him through my words and my deeds. If, through my life, one person "sees" God, then my life will have been worth living, for it only takes one spark to ignite a flame, one flame to start a fire, one fire to purge the world of Satan's messages of hate, guilt, and despair. I wish I had been the one to save Jordan... I wasn't. However, because of Jordan's decision, my faith has grown stronger, my love for my God has grown deeper, and my conviction to inspire others to live each day with the joy God meant us have has not wavered. If one person hears my message, if one new spark of joy is ignited, then the pain of Jordan's death will have been conquered. To my eternal Abba, thank you for the inspiration. LOL...
