Fire

I went to the church today, in thought and prayer I built a fire in our fire pit. I wish that it was as easy to tend the Consuming Fire in the Church. There was a chunk of old pew, underneath was a tremendous heat. When I stirred it, the energy spread.

I imagined that was me, sitting on the coals of The Presence. What gets in the way of my discipline? I am good at talking my theories and values, but do I rely on them to supliment for lack of discipline and the presence?

God! Stir me up. Stir us all up!

  1. really good imagery - one of the most real and surreal things for me is staring at a fire in the fireplace. we all need to get stirred like that... bring it on.
