THE FURNACE

It has practically become a cultural virtue to fantasize about self-importance. What a waste of precious time it is to idolize oneself. In the end, all that will matter is what we have done for God by doing good to others. I don’t want my life to finish as a half-burned log. Only in the furnace of a sold out life will all that must, be completely incinerated, only there will God-given potential burn bright to the end, nothing wasted, all of its potential fully spent.  Lord, Yours is the power to make me the man that pleases You. Blow upon the embers You have placed within me and cause my whole life to burn white hot for Your will in the earth.
