Fire

Fire, it can be warming, comforting, mesmerizing, threatening, killing and dying. The fire above is of a lakeside campfire. It provides warmth and entertainment on a cool October night. Unattended this fire will either go out of control and possible threaten people or habitat or it will die down to chunks of burnt wood.

Hubby and I saw the movie "Fireproof" today. It's movie about marriage and relationships between people. More importantly it's a movie about the relationship between God and people. There are many people that think that their relationships with other people (including spouses) is "fireproof," nothing can endanger it. However, a fireproof marriage (or any other type of relationship) does not mean that it will never have to withstand the onslaught of a fire. Being fireproof means it will be able to withstand damage from a fire. Fires come in all sorts of ways. Fire may be lust, greed, neglect, abuse, drugs, just to name a few.

How fireproof are your relationships? Can your relationships withstand damage from a fire? God gives us the strength to become the type of person that will build a fireproof relationship. He is our hope and our salvation.
