I lived in Northwestern Ontario for over 40 years where wildfires were common. Sometimes for no apparent reason the forests would catch on fire and burn out of control. I also grew up on the prairies where at one time wild grass fires were common.
Fire is an amazing thing. When it is controlled it can bring warm and comfort or it can be used to cook our food but a wildfire is dangerous.
The Holy Spirit is like a fire but He is really more like a wildfire than a controlled fire. We would like to have the Holy Spirit warm us, feed us and comfort us but then it is all about us and He is not ours to control. He is a fire but remember He is a wildfire.
