I just stumbled on a poem I heard read by Lloyd Ogilvie at a conference I attended in October 2011. Today I pray that God will blow on the ember in my heart ... on the ash even ... I wish I could hear Dr. Ogilvie (with his voice that could preach the pages of a phone book) recite this poem now. I'm not quite sure what it is titled, but it was written by Sue McCollum after she heard one of Dr. Ogilvie's sermons.
Within my heart is a red ember
where
once a fire used to be.
A small red ember amidst the white ash
is all that's inside of me.
My heart used to be a mighty blaze,
I
had great passion for the Lord.
I thought I could conquer mountains,
but now I sit here bored.
The blaze became a little flame,
and
then a small red ember.
Lost I was in the white ash,
my God I
could hardly remember.
But God did not let me go
but on that
ember He blew.
He set my heart aflame again
and
created me anew.
