The refining fire,
the fire of Pentecost
the fire guiding
the people by night
a pillar of fire
before them
fire burning, not
consuming the burning bush
speaking to the prophets,
the leaders, the people
flames, light,
warmth, comfort of the presence of God
testing fire, the
furnace of our lives, trials,
all part of the
story of God, of the people called
the people of the
faith, of His sheepfold
the servants
called to service, the ones called
to be His hands, His
feet, His reflection
carried by the Spirit
out to the ends of the earth
fire burning,
purifying, sanctifying our days
moving us closer,
we pray, to our calling
to be Christ to
those we meet
guide our steps,
in the journey of life
the fires to lead
us, to teach us
to show us You
more clearly
the living face of
our God
by the light of
the fires, God’s Spirit within
