BQ: Some people, when you see them, are obviously on fire for God. For a long time now I've wanted to marry someone like that, because it's honestly the most beautiful attribute that someone can have. With that said, instead of doing a traditional (for me) Q/A type post, I'd like to make the next couple dedicated to the sort of passion that I find gorgeous. I hope these passages describe me, you, and I hope they'll describe my future wife.  Enjoy! [Day 1] :
 

"My heart was hot within me,

While I was musing the fire burned;

Then I spoke with my tongue!" (Ps 39:3) 

Thoughts: I particularly like this verse because of how it ends: then I spoke with my tongue. It's a gorgeous thing when people become so lit up that they make it known!
 

"But if I say, “I will not remember Him

Or speak anymore in His name,”

Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire

Shut up in my bones;

And I am weary of holding it in,

And I cannot endure it." (Jer 20:9)

Thoughts: And this verse I love because in some ways it fits me very well. Sometimes I CAN'T shut up! I can't keep it locked inside! I have to return and speak up. When there is opportunity, it is difficult to NOT take it. :)





BQ: Day 2 of looking at verses about fiery passion! 

Jesus said the following, it describes exactly what I'm searching for when I look for friends while I'm here on this earth:

"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!" (Luke 12:49) This reminds me of when I'm having Bible studies and I see a spark start to develop! The urge to see it burst into flame is just about overpowering! How I wish it were already kindled. :)

"They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:32) Don't you feel like this when you see the Word? You should! There was a time when I didn't, and man, those were the bad old days. I hope I never go back. :)
