Stories for March anthem - Turn on your light and burn bright

When cold wind blew, lyrics of our March anthem came to my mind.

他颤抖在情感的寒冷夜晚
期待有人给予些许温暖

Whenever I sing this line, I seem to picture 卖火柴的小女孩儿.
A girl left alone on a winter night. She lighted up all her matchsticks, one by one, hoping that they would keep her warm and alive. But in the end, she froze to dead. This is … one tragic story.

你却说终日奔忙
你也挡不住严寒
可知道灯盏既点燃
应摆在台上

‘ You’ are there but ' you ' told her ' you ' could not help her in any way. Is it really true?
Where did ‘you’ place the lamp?

Max Lucado tells a story about some candles which refuse to be taken from a storage closet to provide light during an electrical storm. (To read the whole story, go to http://www.geocities.com/jf_game/maxlucado.html .) Each candle has its own excuses why it should not give out light. When the husband tells his wife that the candles don’t work, she explains, “Oh, they are church candles.” Often our lives seem to be like these candles. We choose to be lighted up bright in situations when there is already enough light or stay dim in circumstances when we may be the only light that is available.

The world needs the lights.
We are called to live imitating Christ.
Just as Jesus illuminated our lives, let us, being imitators of Christ, do the same for others.

借脚前的灯做世上的光
让每个生命的未来都可一样
永远灿烂
