This morning in prayer I came upon a favorite passage of mine in the book of Jeremiah. The passage (Jr 20:7-9) speaks perfectly of the fire within the Saints, that burning urgency to serve the Lord, and a passionate love that compels one to action.
“You have seduced me, Lord, and I have let myself be seduced; You have overpowered me: You were the stronger… ”
“For me the Lords’ word has been the cause of insult and derision all day long. I would say to myself, “I will not think about Him, I will not speak in His name any more”, but then there seemed to be a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones. The effort to restrain it wearied me, I could not do it.”
Let us pray with our companions in Heaven that we too might cultivate a fire so bright as to be unable to suppress its light.
All Gods’ Angels and Saints, pray for us.
