Fan The Flame!

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled – Plutarch –

I like this quote.  I woke up this morning discouraged by the well intended advice I had received from friends at church last night.  I prayed about it as well as the situation I am battling with and the Lord comforted me and encouraged me and led me in the direction He had for me for today and now I feel much better.  I don’t know what next year holds for me,nor next month, next week, or even tomorrow . . . but I know I am in step with Him and that in Christ, I am a vessel He has filled to use for His purpose and that the passion or fire within me was placed there by Him.  By listening and following Him, it will be kindled.  Praise Him at all times and in all places.  He is good.
