The best way to keep the fire burning is?

[preciousHeart]

When I first knew God and have read his words, I feel like jumping. There's nothing compared to that joy and burst-like love. There is always that intensity to speak about the Good News and spread what I have just learned.

But when reality hits...
like a bus in it's maximum speed limit,
I suddenly see how the outside world is evolving around with its own stuffs to deal with. As a teen, it's undeniably hard not to get engaged.

I want to be that child again.. the one whose joy is surfaced-leveled and whose heart is pure with innocence.

Indeed, it is wonderful to truly know God, but simply knowing, we know, is not enough.

How can we keep the fire burning?

By always staying in constant communication with Yahweh - Thanking, praising, praying, reading about Him, and worshiping Him.

By filling our lives with that which allows us to live a life of worship and love....and having people around us who help us to grow in that faith

I like this and add you may find it helpful to think often on verses such as Romans 5:8-10 which reminds us of God's great love for us and while we were still sinners Christ died for us. And we are now justified by Christ's blood which reconcilies us to God and we are saved through His life.

God Bless

Sounds like a good plan to me.

 

[Peripatetic]

None of us can expect the fire to burn intensely for the long term. Long, sustained fire is about trust and holding on in good times and bad. A relationship with God does not guarantee an easy or always-happy life. There will be times where we perceive God to be more distant, and those are the times where our trust will be tested. Real joy is about faith and hope in our inheritance and future with God. When your joy is there, it won't come and go like the "burst-like" fire that you described.

Sharing His message with others may keep the spark in you. Wouldn't it be a thrill to watch someone fall in love with Jesus?
