If you want to cook, you're going to need some fire. If you're going to eat, you're going to need some heat. Every day you must fan into flame, that gift, that fire that God has ignited in your life. That's what Paul's telling Timothy here. He says, This is why I remind you.-apparently he sold him this before. This is why I remind you to fan into flames, the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. The fire of God's abiding presence in US illuminates our path. It gives us power to live out our purpose. Paul tells Timothy to let it burn, let it light the path, fan that into flame. Do all that is necessary to attend to that fire within you. Then see what God will do. The same is true for us. God has given us a gift. It is abiding presence in us. There's a specific purpose that he has uniquely gifted each of us for. And it's the Spirit of Fire that will illuminate that path for us. and empower us to participate with God and live out our purpose. Even in this day, as you abide in Him and walk with him and trust him. The fire of God's presence, his spirit abiding in you will show you what's required of you asked him to make you diligent to attend to that fire of life, his life in you may you fulfill all of his purposes for you. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so

You are loved!
