Summary: | The article discusses a spiritual reflection on the metaphor of fire and soap in the life of a Christian. It notes that fire can be used to characterize extremes in the cycles and traditions of man such as life and death, and love and fear. In relation to this, God's work in man is like a refiner's fire that burns away impurities to bring out the purest form of gold and silver. It cites that clean soap is a reminder that God is bringing to man the comfort of being cleansed and the restoration of order in one's life. |
