Discovering Fire
Teilhard de Chardin
Some day,
after mastering
the winds, the waves,
the tides and gravity,
we shall harness for God
the energies of love.
And then,
for the second time
in the history of the world,
man will discover fire.
Read about a life lived on fire.
When asked why so many people were drawn to his meetings, John Wesley replied, "I set myself on fire, and people come to watch me burn." If someone were to 'harness for God the energies of love' what would it look like? What if a person became the love of God to those around them? Better yet, what if I began to personify the passion and mercy of God, how would people respond?
