Don’t Let the Fire Die
“For, finally, remember this–that a personal religion which remains individualistic and unshared soon loses its own freshness and glow and certainty; whereas a faith which goes forth witnessing confirms itself, and gathers strength and vigor and momentum. To go on holding your peace, when good good tidings are in your heart, is eventually to reach a point where even for yourself God’s mightiest works seem drab and common and unmeaning. To tell the good tidings out and to share them with the world that needs them is to keep the flame of wonder and adoration continually alive and burning on the altar of your own spirit.” -James S. Stewart
I read this today, and it stabbed me in the heart. God is good. Lord, may I never forget or cease to praise You for Your goodness, Your majesty, and Your splendor.
