Light the fire in my soul....
As I gaze into this fire I think about the nature of it. In the Scriptures men were inflamed with lust, a consuming destructive type of fire. This same vice remains prevalent today, leaving nothing but ashes.
But the life controlled by the Spirit as it were, prompts us to move, to give heat, to bring light. It also consumes, but in a cleansing and unifying way. Lust is a flame that decimates homes and families along with them.
They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign. At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder they had brought back. They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord , the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. All who would not seek the Lord , the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
2 Chronicles 15:10-15 NIV
Dios es amor y el fuego consumidor.
Good analogy, babe. :) I especially liked this one.
