This picture's color on the leaves reminds me of a flame. I took it by using the zoom on my phone. As I am thinking about Pentecost Sunday, I remember the flames that appeared on the heads of those in the upper room. In Acts 2 we read,
"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability."
Is your heart and soul filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit? If it is, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to sit in a pew, or are you going to go out into the world and start a fire of love, peace, and grace? The church was begun when the Holy Spirit came upon them and they witnessed to the crowd that had gathered. May a crowd gather around you as you speak and act through the power of the Holy Spirit. May they feel the grace of God from you.
