English term or phrase: is ultimately the making of us
Burn for God!
The burning bush burned on and was not consumed. That is our role – we burn on and we are not consumed. God wants us to keep on burning, not burn out. He has no use for cinders. Some are consumed by lust, the love of money or power, and it destroys them. They become soulless, empty shells. Some individuals spend their lives dissatisfied; grumbling until grumbling is all that is left of them. They end up as a grumble. The love of God has no parallel with that. It builds up, enriches us and ***is ultimately the making of us***.
