The Burn

“I am here for you.”

I am here for you when others say what you think is wrong.

I am here for you when others turn on you.

I am here for you when you feel your world is crashing in on you.

I am here for you no matter what storm of life you are going through.

I am the Almighty, I give and take away. Follow me and I will make you fishers of men. I love you and formed you in my own image! Don’t turn on me, when you fall down, I am here to pick you up! I love you my precious child.

Love, God!

God made me perfect
each and every part
from my hair to my toes
and from my soul to my heart.

God made you perfect
just the way you are
planned with utmost care
just like every glowing star.

God made us perfect
and I wouldn’t find it odd
If each being had a tag
that read,
     “Made with love” - God

When I was in high school the brand called “No Fear” set out into the market and it was huge. Everyone had a No Fear shirt or a sticker stuck to the back window of their car. It was something that spoke to the heart of our teen culture… that we were eternal, we were invincible, we were death-proof. None of those things were actually true, but it was nice to believe.

However, as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize that I’m definitely finite and I have now crossed from physically growing and I am now on the path towards decay and death. Really uplifting, huh? I’m coming to learn something new in the midst of my decay that I’d like to share with you so that you might be able to learn it earlier than I. Here it is… our God… He is eternal, He is invincible, He is death-proof and He is on your side. So, will this keep you from feeling the effects of death and decay…? I think you know the answer to that (if not, the answer is “no”). However, when you invite God into your life, you invite His qualities and characteristics to be integrated into your DNA. You become invincible, death-proof and eternal in Him.

So, what do you do with that? You share it! Paul wrote the following in his second letter to his spiritual son, Timothy:

5 I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. 6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:5-7 (NLT)

Remember what was shared with you and passed on to you by those who have come before you. Know that what was in their life lives strong in your life. Fan that into Flame… blow on that fire… throw gasoline on that fire… put more stuff to burn in the fire… then throw some more gas on it. Let the fire of God burn in your life, because there is no need for you to have fear. God desires you to be powerful, loving and a disciple. Share God’s love without fear… what do you have to fear… you’re invincible, eternal, death-proof. So, “No Fear”… what would your life look like with no fear? What would you do differently? Who would you tell about God? Who would you share His love with? Answer those questions… and then don’t wait for tomorrow… do it today.
