Keepin That Fire Burin


About two weeks ago I went to a church retreat, when I was there they talked about keep our fires lit. Well I was thinking and I realized my fire is slowly going out so I decided to fix that. One way I was going to was by spreading the “love” and talking to someone I usually wouldn’t talk to. Well I was walking down the hall way and I notice this guy who is walking alone and is keeping to himself as if he was scared or shy, right then I knew I needed to say hey to him. So that’s exactly what I did. He very quietly said hey back with a little smile on his face. I seen him every day I walked rite by him every day, not once had I noticed him till then. No one wants to feel like that like they are unwanted or invisible. Just because they aren’t the most popular kid in school doesn’t mean they don’t need a little lovin too. Being different is a beautiful thing sometimes it just takes a little to realize that. Now I see that guy every day, I make sure to say hey and he always says it right back, the best part is his smile gets even bigger the more I say it. So see, you can do the simplest thing and it can be the most rewarding.  Not only did this help me make my fire a little brighter but I know it brighten his day a little bit too. So I have a challenge for all my followers I challenge you to reach out to someone this week someone who seems to “blend in” and let them know that they are important. Some of Gods most gracious gifts might not be able to be seen or touched but they can be felt at the heart, and in this situation it can not only be felt in your heart but the hearts of those surrounding you. Have a blessed day <3 and keep all your fires burning J

Do we take Gods Gracious Gifts for granted? God gives us the strength and wisdom to become what we want. He believes we will use what we become to benefit others not hurt them. What about abortion? Are doctors taking their gift for granted by taking the lives of innocent children? The babies have no say in the matter. It is known as the silent scream. When an already born child is being tortured they can scream and get help possible even get saved. When a child is getting aborted you cannot hear their scream, because it is silent so how do they get help? Aren’t babies gift from God? If they are why would we want to harm them? Babies are helpless and vulnerable. It is up to us to protect them, but how can we when they never even get the chance to live? Most women often regret having the abortions, but another gift God gives us is forgiveness. "Guilty? Yes, no matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh! thrice guilty is he who, for selfish gratification, heedless of her prayers, indifferent to her fate, drove her to the desperation which impels her to crime." Even though the women have sinned God is more than willing to forgive that sin. No sin is too horrible to not be forgiven.
