The heart water

A burning man, completely and utterly on fire. He is laughing a lot. But then he begins to cry, and his tears begin to quench the fire. Not only that but water begins to pour out from his heart which puts out the fire as well. But then some people around about him begin to pour water on him- but this is different water. This water burns like petrol and refreshes like... water... And the man burns more brightly than he did at first.

When we burn brightly with the spirit of God it is easy to have the joy of the spirit, but when something crap happens, it can be very easy to allow emotions to quench our fire. The water which comes from our heart is oftentimes not the life giving water that God provides but the deceitful lies of the enemy, masquerading as Godly sorrow and quenching the fire of the Spirit.

But praise God for those around us, who, unhindered by emotion, are able to speak the truth in love and refresh us with God's burning water.

Emotions are part of the soul, they must be controlled by the spirit as much as our words or actions.

Big up to Joy and Stephen Blair who both spoke words of burning water to my soul last night.

"Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
