The Flame Inside

“And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”   Acts 2:3-4

The flame that glows inside my soul speaks endless words:

• Words of Joy for the brokenhearted,
• Words of Peace for those caught in turmoil,
• Words of Healing for those who suffer,
• Words of Hope for those in despair,
• Words of Patience for those who strive,
• Words of Kindness for those who have suffered at the hands and words of others,
• Words of Gentleness for those who have lived through trauma,
• Words of Self-Control for those torn by addictions,
• Words of Goodness to those who have felt the pains of rejection,
• Words of Faithfulness for those who have been betrayed,
• And Words of Love for every soul, young and old, pleasant and tormenting, with a deeper portion for the most unlovable.

Lord God, give me the power to unleash the flame,

Growing it large enough to cover every need with Warmth and Grace.

Let my words flow with the gift of Life.

Use Me . . . . .
