about being bold. \u00a0When we are passionate about something it shows. \u00a0Our very demeanor exudes it. \u00a0Our inner fire burns bright. \u00a0We want to share our passion with everyone, especially those around us. \u00a0We should be passionate about our relationship with Christ, and be eager to share His love with others. \u00a0But sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes, it\u2019s a struggle isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>Life is hard. \u00a0Trials and troubles often abound. \u00a0How do we let our light shine when we feel cold and bitter, like we are stuck in the dead of winter? \u00a0We go to the Source.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Then Jesus spoke to them again: \u201cI am the light of the world.<br \/>\nAnyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.\u201d<br \/>\nJohn 8:12 HCSB<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.<br \/>\nJohn 9:5 NASB<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is the Source of our light. \u00a0He is the Light of Life within us. \u00a0In 2 Timothy 1:6a (AMP) Paul encourages us to \u201c<em>stir up, rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning the gracious gift of God, the inner fire that is in you<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>gracious gift of God<\/em> is His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit living within us. \u00a0He can start a fire in the wet wood of our heart. \u00a0He fans the flames of our passion. \u00a0As the bridge of this song says Jesus is <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>the Fire<\/em><\/span>. \u00a0He is our<em><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> Flame.<\/span><\/em> He is <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>the Light on the darkest day<\/em><\/span>. \u00a0We have hope because we bear HIS Name. \u00a0Our job, our responsibility is to burn so brightly for Him there is no doubt that there is no denying it is Him shining through us, burning in us. \u00a0All we need to do is ask Him to<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201c<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Start a fire in my soul<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em> Fan the flame and
