“Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) We often experience a similar feeling, as if our hearts are burning with fire, when we pray fervently, or when we are fully engaged in a conversation. It is because we have Jesus among us that we can feel this bond of love. In order to pray fervently and converse sincerely, we must first empty ourselves so that God can work within us and in turn, we can delve deep into someone else’s heart. Learning to empty ourselves requires practice. That is, we must constantly renew the yearning to love in every waking moment. The only way of living out God’s will is to do it in every “present moment”. His will is simple: “Love one another as I have loved you.”
