John 1:12, 13b
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God … born of God.
This is the gift of Christ Jesus, to have the flame within ignited by the Spirit of God. We are born… or reborn… this is the root of the saying, “born again.”
As I mentioned before, we all have the light, but our personal light needs to be linked to the Source.
And once that happens, as Paul tells Timothy (2 Timothy 1:6), “… I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you…” We do this through the personal devotion, koinonia [community], and connecting with the flame of others.
