The Great Spark

When considering our relationship with God, one of the simplest and best-known metaphors defining this relationship is man is the spark of a great fire. If you touch a piece of kindling to a roaring blaze, it sparks to life. This spark has the same composition of the original blaze and can be used to start a new fire if sufficient fuel is present. Unlike the blaze though, a spark is easily extinguished if mishandled and will in fact soon burn out if more fuel is not added.

Living on the Spiritual Basis provides our kindling, daily prayer, meditation and service the fuel that sustains our fire. The good news is that if we have failed for any reason to keep our spiritual fire lit, the Great Fire, being eternal and inextinguishable is always available to relight our fire. The only requirement is we must provide the kindling.
