Fire is bold, hot, captivating.
Fire ignites curiosity and is attractively dangerous.
Fire is strangely irresistible, and its heat is illuminating.
In 2 Timothy chapter 1, Paul tells Timothy to keep the fire of his faith ABLAZE! What an amazingly descriptive word! It made me think about all the characteristics of a fire that is set ablaze, and what I came up with is listed at the beginning of this post. It's a short list...but when I replace "My faith" with "Fire", it becomes incredibly challenging!
The dictionary defines ABLAZE as "burning fiercely". Fiercely, another wonderful word, describes the bold and dangerous character of Jesus and the standard of faith that He desires us to have in Him. I want this faith. Only then will Jesus be able to transform me into one of those fires that once looked at, can't be looked away from: one that is irresistible, captivating, attractive and ablaze with the love of Christ!
