Fire
Fire is destructive to life and properties. Lives and properties have been lost to the months-long fire that is raging in Australia. Australia is screaming for help as the casualty is mounting; the extent of the damage is unthinkable.
In Central Visayas, for instance, the number of fire incidents almost doubled between 2018 and 2019. The Bureau of Fire Protection-7 recorded 1,893 fires last year compared to the 1,005 it recorded the year before. Specifically, of the five fire districts in Region 7, Cebu Province had the most number of cases, with Cebu City recording 1,311 fire incidents compared to 550 the year before. And even the new year met us with fire incidents.
Biblically, the burning bush is significant as God commanded Moses to save the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and lead them to the Promised Land of Canaan. Doubtful of his ability, he asked God who he should tell the Israelites has sent him. God answered with the famous line of “I am who I am”.
And so there is another beneficial significance of fire as we have been searching for the meaning in our lives? Why does it seem like we have a spiritual fire burning a hole in our souls?
Truly, for what reason would it be a good idea for us to do this? It holds no quick satisfaction to discover importance throughout everyday life but many people still long for it, search for it and work towards it. What is this drive, this spiritual fire that pushes us into obscure region?
For what reason do individuals hear a calling to serve others or to search out new disclosures in science and art? Where does selflessness originate from and the desire to improve the human condition?
Animals don't have this drive, this consuming need to discover importance and commitment throughout everyday life. Tragically, numerous people who are oppressed by financial conditions and religious dictates additionally don't search for it since they have all the more pressing needs existing apart from everything else to take care of.
As a creature of the earth, our heart will keep on beat; our body will work. Be that as it may, these things can't deliver the craving to create, the longing to build up evident connections, the craving for meaning and the quest for significance. These must originate from a deeper impetus that lives inside us. This comes from the fire.

Simply open our hearts, tune into our light, let it sparkle, and realize that this has such an incredible effect in our life and the manner in which we feel. It changes our vitality level and makes brilliant lively well-being. At the point when we sparkle with otherworldly fire, it really streams out beyond us, having a colossal effect in the world and for mankind.
We may feel sad, yet hope lives inside us. We may feel defenseless, however strength lives inside us. We may feel persecuted by our conditions, however a more noteworthy life lives inside us.
Come, at that point, to that which warms us, invigorates us, fearlessness and reestablishes to our nobility and reason for being on the planet. This is the gift. This is the contribution.
