FRESH FIRE

I often struggle with the contradictions of carrying such wondrous eternal treasures in an earthen jar of human weakness. Fatigue suppresses faithfulness. Weariness awakens selfishness and drains away kindness and consideration for others. It also indicates self-dependence as opposed to full surrender to God’s strengthening power. When love languishes, God faithfully reminds me why I serve in the first place. Father, I owe You everything and I owe others Your love and kindness on which I necessarily depend. Revive my heart with fresh fire from above.
