FRESH FIRE

I often struggle with the contradictions of carrying such wondrous eternal treasures in an earthen jar of human frailty. Tiredness or boredom suppresses faithfulness. Weariness awakens selfishness and drains away kindness and consideration for others. Soul fatigue indicates we are operating in self-dependence as opposed to full surrender to God’s strengthening power. Circumstances are no excuse for pulling away from the Shepherd of our Souls. So when my love languishes the LORD faithfully reminds me why I serve in the first place, pouring fresh fire into my heart. Father, I owe You everything and equally, owe others Your love and kindness on which I necessarily depend. Revive my heart with fresh fire from above.
