A Heart That Burns Within Me

I want a heart that is set on fire for the purposes of God. Here I stand, not only with an entire day before me, but an entire life. I have a whole life to live for the Lord. I know that I can make each day count if I will remain in that constant burn. Just like the prophet Jeremiah stood and had to declare the word of the Lord, so I feel this mounting cry within me that says, "I must burn for Him!" I want my life to just burn for Him. I'm tired of burning for selfish desires and a little bit of the Lord here and there. I want my fuel to be His presence. I want my everything to be Him. That is to be consumed with what He's up to, where He wants me to go, and what's on His heart.

Jeremiah 20:9 "If I say, I will not make mention of [the Lord] or speak any more in His name, in my mind and heart it is as if there were a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot [contain it any longer]."
