Fire & Grace
Janna Wilson
You have to have a certain amount of fire but too much and you’ll burn up yourself and those around you. You have to give some grace, but how much is too much. I struggle with this especially in my role as a mama. What about you?
I was thinking about this quote through a Biblical lens because I like the quote but I just have to puzzle out if things like this are really God-honoring. Fire in her soul. The soul is that eternal piece of our being that will, ironically as it seems relative to this quote, be called into eternity with Christ or into the fire of hell. Just keeping it real here. Let’s think about this.
We definitely are called to be a light and burn hottest for God. The scripture says God is not interested in our lukewarm attempts in Revelations, so that does give us some context for the temperature of our relationship to God. Our soul should be bright and hot with the Holy Spirit within us and our zeal for seeking God first in our lives will produce this light and fire as evidence.
