The Fire of Purity

My Pastor gave a message on the fire of His love and the fire of His holiness and as they meet their flame combines into one creating the fire of purity which consumes all things unlike Him...it caused me to cry out to the Father for Him to gather me and not leave me to myself...I must have the flame of purity burning in me so that I may be one who is called "the beloved of the Lord, in whom He delights."

What will kindle the fire of purity in my heart and what will make me faultless before the Father? I look up and cry out! Father! let the fire of Your love that has been shed abroad in my heart by Your Spirit, let it I pray come together with the fire of holiness and consume in me what is not of You...let, I pray the possession of my heart be holiness...cleanse me Father by the blood of Your Dear Son, my Savior, that I may continually worship and praise Your Holy Name...and Father with this burning, let heart peace arise with righteousness and strengthen my very being...give me courage by Your truth and mercy so I can withstand things that come which are not of You...I am Yours and You love me and You will never withhold any good thing from me...Your perfect desire for me is, for You Father to be able to say to me in that day, "Come up hither."
