All Consuming Fire

Do the flames from his tongue cause you to burn? His words are an all consuming fire! Placed within a book so that we may learn. Humans are often lost in their desire. There is a way they can be satisfied. His words are an all consuming fire. Through his sacrifice we are justified! Our hearts are broken and need to be healed. There is a way they can be satisfied. At the foot of His cross I gladly kneeled. Trusting in words spoken into my soul. My heart was broken and now it is healed. I had lived half a life now it is whole. Choosing to walk down a different road. Trusting in words spoken into my soul. I no longer carry a heavy load. Choosing to walk down a different road. Do the flames of his toungue cause you to Burn? Placed within a book so that we may learn.

Powerful and uplifting piece. When we read God's word and learn, we find ourselves stepping into His embrace. Normally this drives me crazy but I don't mind when God reads over my shoulder and fulfills the words on the page.

I thought this piece you've penned here to be powerful with a stark truth therein. I really like seeing things from a different perspective as seen through your very eyes. Excellent!

Didn't our hearts burn within us? This was spoken by the disciples who were thinking back on the time when the resurrected Christ was speaking to them about the events that lead up to His death. Though they did not recognize Him, his words burned within them, bringing them joy, hope, and light. Your terzanelle is a living testament of the power of God. May your heart be blessed for pointing others to Him, the source of every good and blessed thing. I applaud you, Richard.

Never underestimate the power of words to bring about change in people's hearts. The WORD is living an active...as it says in Timothy. Yes...The problem is, we sometimes hear so many other voices that clamor for our attention, that his still small voice is drowned out. Ah, how hard to keep our hearts attuned to what matters, Richard. I used to walk in heaven....Communing freely. This is a great encouragement to remember.
