Chadwick: Fire and love
Tuesday, May 21, 2024
Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330
Meditation:
...for our “God is a consuming fire.”
—Hebrews 12:29 (NIV)
Quotation:
Fire is the chosen symbol of Heaven for moral passion. It is emotion aflame. God is love; God is fire. The two are one. The Holy Spirit baptises in fire. Spirit-filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They believe with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with a fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the Fire of God.
... Samuel Chadwick (1860-1932), The Way to Pentecost, Hodder and Stoughton, 1932, p. 43 (see the book)
