Heart On Fire
Luke 24:32, “And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scripture?”
Good morning! Thank you for being here reading, learning, sharing. Try to head into this day with an urge to live like Jesus did. Seeking and teaching everyone He met of how God’s redeeming love could give them a life like no other. If we could just fathom our hearts being on fire with the words that would lead a brother, sister, friend to the knowledge of God’s grace! The joy of just wanting to be more like Jesus would engulf our very being and the enthusiasm from wanting to share would ripple through others! There are many who took the path to ministering, preaching, because the fire that God put in their hearts could not be quenched. Billy Graham led a life with a heart on fire for doing the work God called him to do and he said many times, he would not change it for anything! Today can we just fill our hearts with fire for those who have not experienced Jesus’ grace and mercy coming into their lives. Living our lives in anticipation of Jesus’ coming should bring us joy and happiness. Our search for the everlasting Father in heaven should help us live the life God intended, showing others around us that it’s worth it! Just because you are not called to be a minister, pastor, youth leader, Sunday school teacher, deacon in a church, doesn’t mean your purpose is not still important. If you are living a God centered life instead of following the world, you are the only Bible some will ever read! Those who seek God sometimes find him in examples of a Christian’s life! When they come to the understanding of how blessed they could be by following your lead into Jesus’ flock, their hearts too will be on fire for God! Today remember, a heart on fire can kindle a spark in another, and then little by little it will spread!

Lord today come and fill us once again with the fire that will continue to burn and spark through us and on to others.

Grant us knowledge of how to keep that flame burning daily. Amen.
