What are you passionate about?

Sometimes, I think I spread myself too thin. I think sometimes I am just plain lazy. Whatever it is, I don't do things wholeheartedly. But, there are some things in my life that I am passionate about. Take for instance, my family. Due to my new job, the precious time that I have with my 3-year-old son is when I get him ready for the day and when I get him ready for bed. I take that time real serious with my son and enjoy it for all I can. My wife and I used to work in the same building together for a year. We had the same schedule. Not anymore. When we are together, I don't want to waste that time.

I am also passionate about the relationship that I have with God. The thought that no matter how many times I screw up, I know that he loves me. But, when I know that He has that love for me, it makes me NOT want to keep on screwing up. That is the passion that keeps me going on a crappy day. That is the passion that keeps me going when things are going great. That is the passion that I want to share with people.

What is your passion? What are you passionate about? What is the one thing in your life that you can have a conversation with anyone at any time? I am telling you that God can be your passion. He is wanting that relationship with you. He wants to be the Father for you.

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.
