Fan Into Flame

     Speaking about Jesus takes courage. Each of us will have opportunities throughout our lives to share Him with others. It’s tough to know when and how, but as we trust in the Holy Spirit’s power, He will give us the right words at the right time. Let’s keep watching for those opportunities. I saw a great quote in a book recently.

People don’t care what you know, until they know that you care. Those may not be the exact words, but they are close. As we care and love others, trust builds. The time to speak about our love of Christ may arise. Trust in the power and light of the Spirit within.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

     We get so caught up in the busyness of life, we neglect the gifts that God has entrusted us to use in His honor, to share His grace, His hope, His light for the rest of our lives. It is our purpose and our calling. Paul reminds us to continue to fan the flame of that light.

For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God. 2 Timothy 1:6a

     Let’s turn up the heat. That small ember of light needs some fanning. The fire and the flame of our God is available. Let’s begin to burn with His passion.

Father,

Help us to fan into flame the gifts You give each of us. It’s time to turn some darkness into light with the fire of Your love. Give us new enthusiasm to share Your glorious Word with others.

In Jesus name,

Amen
