Passion

What is your passion? What gives you boundless enthusiasm? What is the object of such enthusiasm for you? Is there anything? Is God your passion? If there is any relationship that you could have passion about God would be the one.

Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." Matthew 22:37-40
When God becomes the passion of your life all things begin to fall into place. When God becomes our passion, the thing that we have boundless enthusiasm for, we begin to have our lives molded in the shape of God. We love, we have compassion, we are kind, we look for the beauty in things, and we live out the image of God within us. Let this be the pursuit of you life, the object of boundless enthusiam for you. You will find that your life begins to make sense, that things that you once thought impossible will become possible. You begin to look for the positive things in life and focus less and less on things to worry about. Be passionate about God. Let God be the boundless enthusiasm that you pursue in your life.
When you are passionate about God, your purpose in life will come after you. You purpose will find you, you will not have to go seek it. Purpose will chase after you. Let it. Respect yourself by having boundless enthusiasm for God. You are created in God's image and if you do not respect yourself, you are not only disrepecting the most beautiful creation of God, but the Creator itself. If you disrepect yourself how can you connect and let purpose chase you? Have passion, have it to find God. Respect yourself and all life with love and service then watch the words of Jesus come true in your life.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
Namaste'
