This morning, Pastor Dale unpacked a truth that is at the very core of who we are. At the center of our lives lies a fiery energy, a perpetual disquiet, a lingering loneliness, an ache for something we can never quite name. It a holy longing and it's been placed there by our Creator. It is meant to be tended to by Jesus, but we often allow other things to give it life, things that don't lead to peace or rest.
Following Jesus is about what we do with that desire he placed within us. What we do with our breath, our lives, handling the hope and pain, how we handle the unrest inside of us, how we channel the passion within us, how we channel the longing with us...all informed by the way and the life of Jesus.
We invite you to spend time with the Father and seek his revelation on what is fueling the fire he placed inside you. Questions you can ask:
Father, what is fueling the fire you've placed within me? Are there areas I've allowed the enemy to tend the fire?
What does it look like for me to allow Jesus to tend the fire?
Is there an invitation you have for me to take a next step, to take action for you? Will you reveal it to me?
