passion
Fire in heart
Passion is a strong feeling of various kinds (sexual passion, passion for gardening).
Your passion (it seems everyone is expected to have at least one) is the thing that motivates and interests you most in life.
In the context of Christianity, Passion is usually capitalized and designates the suffering of Jesus between the Last Supper and his crucifixion.
It may also denote a musical work based on this.
