Scripture: Luke 12:49-50
Journal: What fire is burning within you these days? How does God want to set you ablaze?
Reflection:
Philosopher William James said: "In some
people religion exists as a dull habit, in others as an acute fever." Jesus did not endure the shame of the cross
to hand on a dull habit. (If you don't
have the fever, dear reader, a passion for God and His Christ, drop this book,
fall on your knees, and beg for it; turn to the God you half-believe in and cry
out for His baptism of fire.) ~The Signature of Jesus by Brennan Manning
Cast aside everything that might extinguish this small flame which is
beginning to burn within you, and surround yourself with everything which can
feed and fan it into a strong flame. —The Art of Prayer
Prayer
Closing
Prayer: Let your fire burn within me, O Jesus, that I
would be totally consumed by your furious love.
Kindle the fires of your affection deep in my soul, that I may always
burn with love for you. Amen.
