(Hebrews 12:29) "... our God is a consuming fire."
Whenever I take my eyes off Jesus to live life 'my way,' the strain becomes overwhelming. My heart starts to harden with bitterness, and I begin to focus on negativity, leading to strained relationships, feelings of isolation, loss of joy, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion. Finally, these negative perceptions and emotions affect all my interactions and overall well-being, both physically and spiritually.
Though I'm aware of what's happening and feel an urge to retreat away into the darkness of shame, the gentle pull of my Heavenly Father grows stronger, and with profound Grace, He draws me back into His comforting presence.
Despite my resistance, my kicking and screaming against the undeserved pull of Grace, His divine tenderness finally and gently enfolds me in His Heavenly arms, providing a sanctuary of warmth and safety. Within this sacred embrace, I am surrounded by the all-consuming fire of His unconditional love. This profound fire doesn't destroy me but begins to soften my heart, gently melting away the layers of bitterness and pain that I have allowed to accumulate.
It is within this transformative space of Peace that my eyes finally open and I begin to witness for myself the layers of hurt, resentment, and negativity—the worldly crud I have allowed to shroud my true self—begin to fall away.
As each layer dissipates, I experience a profound renewal, emerging from this all-consuming fire of GOD's love, with a clearer, more hopeful perspective.
GOD addresses our negativity through forgiveness, mind renewal, peace, wisdom, and support, confirming that we are not alone in our struggles—that "He will never leave us or forsake us." (Hebrews 13:5)
