Cast into the fire
"You "bind the sacrifice . . . to the horns of the altar" and see to
it that you don’t wallow in self-pity once the fire begins. After you
have gone through the fire, there will be nothing that will be able to
trouble or depress you. When another crisis arises, you will realize
that things cannot touch you as they used to do. What fire lies ahead
in your life?

Tell God you are ready to be poured out as an offering, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be."
Feb 6th My Utmost For His Highest
I read this passage this morning. I don't know if I have the guts to put myself on the altar. I don't know what that honestly mean... It scares me to think of myself laid out on the altar. I wrote this in response:
The Lamb
The smell of burnt skin
Fills the room with a haze
Sitting, laying, hands stretched out
Eyes toward the altar within
Made of the purest cedar
The combination of smells
Both wonderful and putrid
Beautiful love and light
Focus upon salvation, redemption
Restoration
Standing, ablaze, he walks
Untouched by the flames no more
