Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Is there no fire in your heart?
     How are you defining the fire? It should not be a feeling.
It should not be an emotion.  It should not be physical energy,
or strong desire.
     When you have crossed the line, there is the fire of 
determination in your heart.  You can not be talked out, scared
out, bought out, or fought out,  of obedience.
     The fire means, there is a no-matter-whatness in the center
of your being, resulting from the fact that GOD IS.
     His existence changes everything.  You know He is real, 
because He touched you.  If you have a relationship with Him,
it is because you have been touched.
     It is undeniable.
     It means you can't go back. There is nothing else and no one
else.
     Soldier of The Cross, when you take up that Cross, it means 
death to the self-life.  It means identifying with His sufferings.
     It also means discipleship.
     No turning back - that is the fire.
     No denying Him - that is the fire.
     Putting your weight on His Word - that is the fire.
     Pouring out His life for others - that is fire.
     Gazing upon the One Who leads you with His eyes - that is
Fire.
