' "You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see." '
[Revelation 3:17-18]
I've had the following song stuck in my head this evening. I really like it, but I haven't heard it in a while. We sang it pretty often in youth group. Even though I believe that I'm doing pretty well, and that I'm certainly continuing to grow closer to God, I need an extra bit of... something. I like the line 'I need Your discipline' because that's how I feel right now. And it's true.
'Don't let my love grow cold
I'm calling out, light the fire again
Don't let my vision die
I'm calling out, light the fire again
You know my heart, my deeds
I'm calling out, light the fire again
I need Your discipline
I'm calling out, light the fire again
I'm here to buy gold refined in the fire
Naked and poor, wretched and blind I come
Clothe me in white, so I won't be ashamed
Lord, light the fire again'
[Light the Fire Again]
