Flame of God

This year for our Children's Program the theme is "Let Your Light Shine".
Along with that theme, we will be studying a different missionary every night.

One of those missionaries is Amy Carmichael.  
  
Miss Carmichael was a very Bright Light for the Lord in India.  With the Lord's direction,
She was able to rescue many children from the temple's of the false gods of India.
Along with caring for these children, she wrote many books and poems.

One of my favorite of her poems is Flame of God-

"Give me the Love that leads the way 
The Faith that nothing can dismay 
The Hope no disappointments tire 
The Passion that’ll burn like fire 
Let me not sink to be a clod 
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God” 
— Amy Carmichael
  

It is my prayer that the Lord would make me to be His Fuel!
