Passion
I have observed that do many things out of passion. I must say that I realised it is both a blessing and a curse. Well you see, while I have done many great things out of passion, I also have done many bad things due to the same reason. We have already seen a lot of sportsmen achieve great feats due to their passion for the sport, but also done sinful actions due to the same passion they have for the sport. In my personal life, I have quite a number of close friends, and when they're in need of help, I'll go all out to help them, due to my passion. However, sometimes the very same reason leads me to do wrong, due to my passion always encouraging me never to say no, even though clearly I know it is wrong.
Since passion has been seen as a tool for both good as well ass evil, what should we do? Should we throw it away altogether? No...I don't think so...
You see, Jesus says in John 4:24 "God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth".
To worship Him in spirit, is the passion I was talking about. At the same time, we need to be fully aware of what we sing, pray, give and preach, and that is why we also have to worship in truth.
Oh and who is the one who is most passionate of us all?
The answer is none other than God Himself. He sent His only Son to die for us, because He has so much passion for us. Even though we don't deserve His forgiveness, and even though I still don't know what I did to deserve someone like Jesus to die for me, I know for certain that God's love is real.
How about this? Many have missed this one important aspect of God's love. God loves us so much that He is willing to let us choose to not believe Him if we do not want to. He does not force us to believe in Him, even though He knows His will is perfect for all of us. How many of us daresay we love someone so much that we will let him/her do whatever they want, even though it brings us no benefit? Yea. That's how much God loves us, and not to forget that He died for us even though we reject Him time after time.
