Fire.

Today, my heart felt heavy and broken. So, I started reading Romans 8, that we are more than conquerers, and that NOTHING can separate me from the love of God. I felt a need for confidence in who God says He is and who God says I am.

I’ve been reading a lot about and studying the idea that we are literally like vines on a branch, and from that understanding what comes of trees like paper, or fire and the characteristics of the two. I looked up, “He set me on fire and I’m burning alive” and Google gave me this girl's blog from Thailand named Amanda from November 16, 2008 which spoke SO much truth to my soul in this moment. God did that! He completely spoke her you and her words and confirmed that He is who He says He is and I am who He says I am.

He set me on fire, and I am burning a live.

I am of the vine. I produce fruit, shade, paper, and fire for my God.

“I want to yearn for you,

I want to burn with passion for you and only you.

Lord, I want to yearn.”

"He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.

With His breath in my lungs, I am coming undone.

I cannot hold it in and remain composed.

Loves taken over me, and so I propose the letting myself go.

I am letting myself go.

You are my joy."
