Flaming the Heart with Sayings and Thoughts

By Joe Cervantes

Passion is a desire that goes back to the Garden of Eden and ends with the apostle John, and its always powerful. If there is anyone who can know about love, its God. With so much purity from Gods Word, we are enlightened and yet discouraged at times by our surroundings. As for Gods people, were to have the desire to love one another deeply as we try to wear love wherever we go. We are told to love and never give up, and whatever we do, its to be done in love. So how do we guard our hearts? What do we aim at and why? When there is wisdom and knowledge and understanding, and combined together, we reach a higher level of joy and excitement. With love there are moments in which we are at our lowest because of misunderstanding. Thats when God sends his love and his people to give us some powerful truth and insights. Its the love that we have for our family and friends. May this book be the moment for which were created to inspire, exhort, and discipline the heart to set it on fire and multiply with more truth. Theres so many powerful thoughts in this book of important reminders and clever comments. So let the flames begin within our hearts. Lets change this world of ours with some powerful insights within this book. I sincerely believe its impossible for you not to find some thoughts thats not going to be beneficial to inspire your life.
