Come!
Behold the Light, this dance of fire
In your soul.
Be quick!
Don’t weigh your worth,
Don’t contemplate too long,
You, who are soon no more.
You are a vessel of the Almighty Flame.
Trust that He, the Consuming Fire,
Will make your message more powerful
Than that of Angels in all their glory.
You, willing heart,
Be His image!
Shine in the darkness as He does!
Come, say yes to the One
Who burns you away.
Surrender to the Him
Who has not come to take your life, little by little, until death awaits –
But to HIM
Who takes death until only life remains.
He who set the fire will carry you safely.
Be a willing wick!
Dare Him to melt you with love,
Empty you, like an open tomb –
Only take with you,
Wherever you go,
The Light and Life of God —
And leave behind what belongs to earth.

Hebrews 12:29
“For our God is a Consuming Fire”
