Tending the Fire Within

When Jesus speaks to us, our hearts burn within and our vision is restored; but eventually we have to descend from the mountain top. The clarity of the vision slowly fades and the light grows dim, like the shining face of Moses after leaving the presence of the Lord (Exodus 34). We have to listen for the voice of Jesus against a cacophony of noise. It becomes harder to remember the Word spoken to us, like trying to recall a forgotten dream. We must learn “the secret of the burning heart.”
