By fanning the flames in our hearts and souls we fan the Divine spark

GOD created the world through speech, and the words with which He created us are very much like flames.

“Behold, my words are like flames" (Jeremiah 23:29). Flames don’t burn unless they have fuel to consume. The same is true of God's words. "For God your God is a consuming flame” (Deuteronomy 4:24). His flame requires a wick and fuel to burn. Without fuel, it expires.

Can you imagine what happens when God's flame runs out of fuel? His continual act of creation grows weaker until it sputters, God forbid, and ceases. This has never happened, thank God, because God's flame has never run out of fuel. Our task is to ensure it never will. What fuels God's flame?
