We are at the core made up of bones. It is the foundation of our frames.
They are the things that allow us to move, and have our being. They are the launching pad of every possibility in our physical world.

But, what is at the core of those bones?
What is it that makes them up, composes them?
What is the foundation?

What are you and I? What is the Foundation of who we are?
What am I composed of? At the core of me, what is there?

Tonight I'm haunted by the Love of the Creator.
I'm tripping hard core on that Love. THE Love.

You see there is a fire shut up in my bones. Ignited from my very beginning. Even before I was knit together in my mother's womb. In the design plans of me, the essence of who I am, my Creator made me out of the fire of PASSION. His deep, deep passionate love. I was birthed, cut from the fabric of LOVE.

There is a fire shut up in these bones. It is a fire of passion. Born out of love!



In You we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28) Apart from you I cannot understand me, I cannot understand the foundation of me, the fire shut up in my bones. Or perhaps the fire is only lit when we encounter The Love, You, and begin to understand the fabric of our beings. All I know is that when I'm far from you I feel cold, stony, uninspired, dead. But when I'm near you everything ignites. I come alive, I gulp the fresh air of life. I am revived. I am reminded, like a tree in spring, how to bloom, and flourish and be what I was created to be. AND I SING, my heart soars, the rivers of joy rush to the low places and once again I am swept away. With the waves of who you are crashing over me, again and again. Covering me, shaping me, and spinning me round and round until I'm pulled in deep, and deeper still. Melting back into You, the fabric from which I was cut. I was created out of Love, for Love, to Love, to be Loved.

This is the Fire Shut Up In My Bones, this is the anthem that they sing:

"We love because He first Loved Us."

God IS Love.
Whoever Lives in LOVE Lives in GOD, and God in him.

And so we KNOW and RELY on the Love God has for us.

(1 John 4:19/1 John 4:16)

Live in love, for when you are living in love you are living in God! But remember that you cannot love, really love without knowing His love first. Receiving it, soaking in it, sucking it in, lapping it up, because we RELY on His love for us. So sit and soak it up and remind your bones of the fire that is inside of them.

There is a fire shut up in these bones.
Stoke the flames.
Let it out.

"I am weary of holding it [the fire shut up in my bones] in; indeed I cannot." Jeremiah 20:9
