Get Passionate!!
How is your walk with the Lord?
How have you and Him been getting along lately? How much time have you given Him? How much do you show your love for Him?
I think if there is one thing that I have learned over the last couple of years is how unpassionate I had become. That I lacked passion for the Lord, for those He gave me to love, I didn’t stop loving them, I just did not have anymore passion.
I just let each day roll by and not aware that I had begun to take things for granted. I lost touch with the Lord. He did not lose touch with me. I lost touch with those that were the most precious to me.
If there is anything that the Lord wants in our lives, it is for us to be passionate. I mean sold out, your all I want, I am madly in love with you Lord type passion.
For only then can we have a passion that pours out to our families, to our friends, to those in our life that mean the most to us.
The Lord is calling us back to that first love relationship with Him. Where our desire is to intimately know Him, to know His word that He might write it upon our hearts, to know His presence, and to know His voice, that still small voice that speaks to our hearts, to our spirit and leads us in His ways.
We need to be passionate about the things of God, to share the reality of who He is. Not only in the words that we speak, but in the life that we live.
As we do this, then we will learn to be passionate for the things that the Lord is passionate about. We will learn to be passionate in our relationship with those who are important in our lives.
That they will begin to see the reality of the Christ within. That they will see the life changing power of Christ, and the Spirit of the Lord working in our life.
Take time this day to let the Lord know how much you love Him and ask Him to rekindle that flame within, that flame of passion that has been reduced to an ember that is almost ready to go out.
Let the Lord by His Spirit begin to breathe upon that ember, that the breath of His presence will cause that ember to break forth into an all consuming fire that will cause you to fall passionately in love with your Lord and Savior as He woo’s you back to know Him in an even greater way, learning to fall in love all over again with the one who gave Himself for you!
Till later,
Paul
