Be passionate

I am a passionate person. Unfortunately, I don't always seem that way.
But I love...to love! Truly, who doesn't? It's in our very nature. We were made in the image of God, who IS love. I love being passionate for things that make such a difference and an impact on my life.

And I got to thinking...my life would be so incredibly empty if I was so wholly complacent and dispassionate. If I didn't have my love of a lifetime molding my heart every single day to make my heart beat in unison with His passions...I would be dead. I might be living this life, but I wouldn't be living.

How do people get to be without passion and a purpose in life? Even working at Kohls, though it isn't my dream job, I am working towards my passion...I'm actually in my passion. People. I love love LOVE people. And I'm loving them while I'm working at Kohls. My job is my passion. My family is my passion. My entire being moves with passion every single day, in response to a lovers call from my Jesus.

If you don't have a passion...Jesus is a good place to start. He will ignite you and make you feel like you're ALIVE. I just had an awesome conversation with my friend, Melissa, and during that conversation, (We both have the same passion for God, music, etc) God was just so totally getting us incredibly excited and happy for the future. This is what is is to be passionate. And even on your worst days, you have something to work towards.

BE PASSIONATE. It's in your DNA, it's something God put inside of you!
