The Meaning of Life : You Are Called to Catch Fire
by Nikki Walton for Curlynikki.com
“Let all that you do be done in love.” –1 Corinthians 16:14
What Is the Meaning of Life?
It’s been a full week of living with intention, of choosing unbroken spiritual momentum.
Have I been “on” 24/7? Not even close.
But I’ve been with Him more than I would be otherwise.
In the morning, I don’t jump up and start striving. I hesitate. I linger. I wait until the Power comes. Until I can feel the Love. Until the Fire is lit again.
Why You Feel Tired Instead of Called
“Someone who faces every problem spiritually is never exhausted.” – St. Paisios of Mt. Athos
That Flame writes the words.
That Flame answers the emails.
That Flame picks up the kids.
It doesn’t flicker.
I flicker. But less and less,
Especially when I don’t rely on my own strength to carry me.
There’s not enough protein or espresso in the world to Power what all we are required to do. And I’m not talking about your to-do list. You have been called to Kingdom Business… which leads to Kingdom Glory right here on earth.
The Power That Carries You Beyond Human Strength
You’ve been called to the Altar. It’s not one you can see. You can only feel this place where Heaven touches earth… where It touches you. Changing you first and then everything around you.
But you have to stay IN TOUCH. It’s an Energy, a Holy Fire, a Power that you have to keep holding. And it’s absolutely SURGING. Like trying to hold Niagara Falls, but this is what you’re tasked to do.
How to Stay in Touch with the Fire
And this happens all the time- outside of time, beyond calendars, outside of human strength, and even, human awareness.
You say nothing is changing or happening. But you must pray (hold this Fire… this surging) until it does. Whether it takes a day or a year. You’re holding the Hem. And I promise, you’ll see things begin to move, begin to be consumed by this Power, begin to be produced by this Power… and before you know it… nothing is the same.
Living the Meaning of Life in Your Everyday Moments
Today, sit with the Power. Rest as the Fire with me. Be the Fire. Like a great, silent, Burning Bush. And then you’ll get up as that Burning Bush and everything you walk past you’ll set on Holy Fire, you’ll set the streets on fire, the stores, the offices, the people. They will feel Him in you and they’ll catch, too.
Set Everything Around You on Holy Fire
This is your real work. Your real career. Catch Fire. Win Souls for Jesus. But first, you must catch. And stay caught.
I love you,
