For a long, long time I have been complacent, stagnant, even abandoning my faith. I have used every excuse in the book, told countless lies, even fled from those who tried to hold me accountable. It has been a long, long time since a flame burned in me, but I caught it today. It sparked and sizzled. I don't know what to do with it. I want to share it with somebody, rub elbows with another soul. I don't know how to control it, I only know I don't want to lose it. Strike a match, light a flame, let it burn, in Jesus' name. Let it roar, consume this soul.
Often in life, we let the circumstances and situations stomp out our fire. We accept an ember still glowing rather than throwing more logs on until we become an inferno, blazing bright and fierce. We allow people to blow our fire out with discouragement, dout, degredation. They steal our flame, shake our faith.
No more! I will rage and be consumed. I have no room for complacency. I have no time for mediocrity. I will burn for My Father, may He set me aflame, consume all I am inJesus' name. I'm tired of the half-done, exhausted by the tame. I'm sick of common. I'm done with shame. I won't be taken back to the man I was. I'm marching onward, climbing higher. My past is forgiven. My present is set free. My future is filled with promises from My King. There's nothing on this earth, no sin, no person, no material posession that can stake its claim on my soul. I AM CONSECRATED, set apart, and.whole. I've been called, been set free, equipped by my King to live this life in victory. May His love reign in me. STRIKE A MATCH and let it burn, may there be nothing left and Christ be all that you can see.
