Candle of the Lord

Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,
searching all the inward parts...

As the soft wick yields to the stronger force of fire,
a candle is inflamed, giving light in the darkness
that surrounded it. Over time, the candle
changes as it is consumed.

The person consumed by the fire of the Lord
will be changed by it, providing warmth and
light to those in darkness. As their life is spent-
consumed- by and for the Lord, they will fulfill
their purpose.

Lord, kindle my heart... it cannot be kindled
without You... consume me with Your fire, so
shall I serve my purpose, in You.

Kindle My Heart - Patrick Doyle (from A Little Princess) - YouTube
As the moon kindles the night
As the wind kindles the fire
As the rain fills every ocean
And the sun the earth
With your heart kindle my heart

Take my heart
Take my heart
Kindle it with your heart
And my heart
Cannot be
Kindled without you
With your heart kindle my heart.
~Patrick Doyle, 1995
