what are your passionate about ?

What are you passionate about? That is not always an easy question to answer, yet as we get live our passions are easy to see by others. Go ask someone: what am I passionate about?

Answer a couple of big questions that may help you put a finger on what you are passionate about:

1) What do you love doing? Something you will do and leave others, people and stuff, behind to do.

2) What pulls at your heart? Stuff that you see around you that might be injustice or hurting others or something.

For me, the past few months have really defined what I am passionate about. As that definition, as I put feet to what God puts in front of me there seems to always be success when I admit and live like life is all about God and nothing else. Passion defines what we do. It can be passion for the wrong things or for the right things. Lets define my passion:

Matthew 22:37 (nlt) --- Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'

Loving God is much more than going to church or giving money. It is having a personal, real relationship that is active. It is time with God and more.

1 Peter 1:22 (nlt) --- You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.

Loving people is a natural outcome of loving God. Much of passion has to do with seeing people come closer to God.

What are you passionate about? Live in that passion. Thrive with that passion. Let God fill you and then let that passion flow to others who need to see God lived out.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
