The Divine Flame We will be consumed by the Divine Flame.

The very first moment we decide to turn to God, our heart begins to be warmed by the action of the Holy Spirit. Our heart is kindled with the Divine Flame that will transform us. This flame will consume us completely, and will melt everything of a fallen nature within us. Once this flame of Divine Love has been actualized within our heart, we must do nothing that will allow it to be extinguished. We must cooperate with the Fire of God, and let it completely consume us.  

We must put all our effort into this spiritual transformation that is begun in our heart, and let nothing else take center stage over this action by God that is meant to save us, and make us whole and complete.

From a little flame, this fire will burn in our heart, and nothing of our fallen nature will be able to withstand it. This flame will transform our whole being, as the action of the Holy Spirit will take us into God's Kingdom, and we will be transformed into the likeness of God.

Love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
