A burning fire!

“O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived;
You have overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
Everyone mocks me.

For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the word of the Lord has resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.
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 (Jeremiah 20:7-9 NASB).

We need endurance; we don’t want to grow weary and burn out.

"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary (Galatians 6:9 NASB)."
