What Burns Within

Spiritual injection, soul to the bone marrow gene therapy Regeneration revived me, when grace was bestowed abundantly Dipped my soul in the water, emerged with a spark of godly desire I wanted to be holy ... be elevated higher I felt the fire as it began to burn within The flames of purification burned away all my sins And the fire kept burning within Melted away my stony heart, reshaped it into a new spiritual organ More generous, more compassionate More empathy, more circumspect What now burns within, grows more intense everyday My old desires all burning away Embers of the past cremated into ash; buried under the tree, next to the leaves of all my ill-gotten cash Resurrected bones born in the fire --- I walk by faith on the water of troubles, every blessing from above now doubled What burns within ... is a gift from the Everlasting Almighty What burns within ... birthed a new spirit that guides me rightly What burns within ... cleared away all my doubt and pain What burns within ... fallowed my soul to be born again

Ty, Robert. I know coming from such a spiritual person as yourself, that the words ring true to those who have experienced being born again. Love and much joy to you.

Ty, Connie. It is a blessing to be given a new set of spiritual eyes. I see myself now w/a new clarity. I acknowledge to God that He saved me from myself. I am always humbled by the Lord's grace. I appreciate your loving words of support. Love and peace to you always.
