Passion...
How do you define Passion? What visions do you have when you think about passion? What emotions surface? How does your thought process change? Does your personality change when you are doing what you are passionate about? What do you have passion for? How many things can you be passionate about?
For me when I am doing something I am passionate about I lose track of time. I feel so much energy and excitement. I honestly feel like a kid...
What if we all lived out of our passion? I mean think about it... How much enjoyment would you have? How much happier would you be? I know I would need less sleep... lol!
Now passion... I am passionate about the Bengals... Very passionate! I will now start spending hours reading, listening and watching the Bengals. I love them! I am not agreeing with all the recent trouble some of them have found themselves in, I am just passionate about them. I always have been.
I say this for two reasons... One because they reported to training camp today ;o) and two because this isn't the passion I am talking about living our lives for... See God has created us to be passionate about HIM. We are created that way! We all have a passion for God, yet we are all created to be passionate about different parts and/or aspects of God.
Do you know what that is for you? What are you passionate about for God? Think about it... For me it is the learning. I know it sounds weird, but hear me out... I am passionate about learning about God. I want to spend the rest of my life learning about God and his character. When I am doing that I lose track of time and my energy level is through the roof. I find joy and excitement about learning something that may be so small about God and the Bible that it challenges my thought process and my behaviour. It is amazing...
My passion for God's character not only gives me energy and transforms me, but gives me a desire to tell others. I want to teach people the truth of God so that they will know how much God loves them. HE does love you! I watched this video the other day that made this point that I will say as much as I can, it said "We didn't' chose God... God chose us". Wow! That is an insight to God's character that gives me energy and brings excitement. It challenges the way I think and my behaviour. Does it yours?
God I pray that you continue to add to my wisdom about you, not for mere knowledge but for your good. I pray that you continue to open doors for me to share your love with others so that they too can see how much they are loved. God thanks for choosing us and personally me.... Amen.
