Sparky #2

Something else I love about fire is it's need... it's need to feed.

Fire can not continue to burn with nothing to burn up... now before you go and think I've lost my mind, I know fire can sit there and burn with "nothing" burning, but it's actually using oxygen; no oxygen, no fire.

Watch videos of a forest fire, the more trees and brush, the bigger the fire gets... or one of those cool fires on top of water, once that oil or other fuel on top of the water burns out... the fire goes out.

If fire does not feed, it will not make it. Fire NEEDS to feed on something else.

Ever seen fire catch on to something "non-flammable?" It doesn't work. The fire can't feed on those things, therefore, the fire dies.

Think about your life. We need people to feed off of, to build us up, to fuel our passions and keep us going. When we get around people who are "fire proof" or "non-flammable" we try all we can to get encouragement, "fuel" from them... and sadly we lose a lot of our spark.

We NEED others to help fuel us.

This is not the same as my "En-Tree" about the trees helping each other grow. What I am saying here is that we need people to fuel our fire; to keep us burning; to give us something to feed off of.

This can be as simple as an "atta boy" as you go or as grand as $500 towards your mission trip. Regardless of who we are, our financial status or lack of desire... everyone needs someone.

The questions now are, "Who are you fueling?" and "Who fuels you?"
