Know where your strength comes from.
It is only the Holy Spirit who can make a message good and fruitful
— Carrie ten Boon
Fire is a good symbol for the Holy Spirit. Fire can do many different kinds of things. Fire can make something strong; that is why we char a canoe and fire clay pots. Fire can make something soft. Put a piece of iron into the fire and it turns red and then you can bend it. Heat a piece of wood and you can bend it too. Fire gives us light….. as a candle, or kerosene lamp or electric bulb.
Fire takes away pain; if you have a sprained ankle or a swollen hand, put it close to the fire. Heat heps the pain to go away.
May you be filled with the Holy Spirit!
