What fuels your flame?

The tiniest spark can start a whole blaze.

The Holy Spirit works the same way. He sparks a fire and a passion in us to share God’s love with people. But we have to fan the flame. Nurture it and help it grow. If we snuff it out. Then we have to keep restarting that spark.

God gave me the verse Jeremiah 20:9 a long time ago to remind me that even though I turned my back on him once. That I won’t do it again. But I need to fan the flame each day, I need to fuel the fire he put in me.

But if I say, “I will not mention his word
    or speak anymore in his name,”
his word is in my heart like a fire,
    a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
    indeed, I cannot.

I fuel it by spending time with Father God, by fixing my eyes on Jesus and asking Holy Spirit to teach me something new each day.

What fire has God started in you? Are you snuffing it out? Or are you feeding the fire he put in you?
