Reigniting Your Love for God

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

— Matthew 5:6

Passion for holiness is not created from nothing; it is reignited when we return to the source and tend what God has already placed within us.

Parable: The Rekindled Fire

There was a man who kept a fire burning in his home.

At first, the flames were strong and warm, lighting the entire room. But over time, he grew busy and stopped tending it. The fire did not go out—it faded into glowing embers, giving just enough heat to survive, but no light to fill the space.

One evening, he knelt beside the hearth and placed fresh wood onto the embers. He blew gently, not forcing the flame, but giving it air. Slowly, the fire caught again, rising brighter than before.

The warmth returned—not because the fire was new, but because it had been cared for.

Moral:
Passion for holiness is not created from nothing; it is reignited when we return to the source and tend what God has already placed within us.
