Everyday we go through situations that seem to rock the boat of life and knock the breath out of us. In my studying the bible and biographies of great people I have come to discover one quality they had; namely PASSION. On a daily basis I have discovered my passion for the purpose I was created for is under attack. I have to make every effort to maintain my passion that I may fulfil my purpose. What then is PASSION?
P: People lover-Passionate people have people's lives at their centre. A genuine love for people fuels passion.
A: Attitude- Passionate people have the right attitude towards life that is positive and uplifting. Negative people are passionless and spineless in life.
S: Systematic- Passionate people work with systems and not chaos. Jesus loved people, and when faced with a crowd that was hungry before the miracle He created a system to transmit the loaves and fish that would cater for the need.
S: Servant- Passionate people are willing servants. They service the dreams of others; they service their families with joy and peace; they are humble and know that the best way to live life is to serve others and not themselves.
I: Inspiring- Passionate people have a fire that stirs their heart to pursue their dream or goal. They have a flame that inspires them towards greatness.
O: Obedient- Passionate people understand that obedience to the laws of God results in fulfilment of their purpose as disobedience negates passion.
N: Nurturing- Passionate people will always nurture their passions towards that which aids their achieving purpose.
As you go through life my prayer for each of us is that we will maintain the right passions and pursue our purpose. May the flame of your passion burn brightly in these turbulent times.
