Fire needs air circulation and clinkers interfere with that. As a boy, I had a job keeping the firebox clean in our neighborhood movie theater. I would go down to the furnace room and pick out all the clinkers that lined the bottom of the firebox.

We cannot burn brightly if we are full of clinkers either. Some of our clinkers are self-doubt, a lack of hope and a lack of faith in God. Our Father tells us to come to Him and get the help we need. He will show us how to keep the firebox clean. Be a clinker remover and let your fire burn more brightly.
