What's Your Passion

When God gives you a vision for your life, it’ll burn within you like a fire that can’t be extinguished. The psalmist said, ‘My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned.’ So, what are you passionate about? What burns ‘hot’ within you? When God calls you to do something, He creates within you both the desire to do it and the power to carry it out. Though you feel inadequate and unqualified, stand on His Word: ‘For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him’ (Philippians 2:13 NLT). Mahatma Gandhi had a vision of a free and independent India at a time when it was governed by the British. Henry Ford had a vision of every family in America owning an automobile at a time when people were frightened of his new invention. Daniel K. Ludwig had a vision of a self-supporting industrial region in the heart of the Brazilian jungle at a time when there was no industry, no electricity, and no city of any kind for hundreds of miles. Where do such creative desires come from? God, Who is our Creator! And when God gives you a true worldview, you’ll never be happy living in a narrow mental framework. Are there times when you’ll feel afraid and uncertain about what to do? Yes! Fear and faith are two sides of the same coin, and they’ll always be part of your thinking. But the one you choose is the one that’ll determine your future - and you get to choose!
2 King 19-21, Acts 12

Wow,deep,and Thought-provoking.

True Lili-Ann it's like I can't miss to be what's burning inside of me. I can't.

Very true.Most times we have passions for things we lack the grace and strength to sustain

Indeed.That's a nice question! What's your passion.The first step in the achievement of any thing is having a passion for it.Identification of your passion enables you go straight for it,asking for grace and strength to actualize it. Many have dreamed of becoming great footballers,and ended up in the streets, doing drugs.Many have dreamed of becoming world best surgeons, nurses,astronauts, engineers,etc.Barely 30% end up achieving this. Because of misplaced passion,misplaced obligations, parental and peer pressure and many other factors. Even in this heavenly race,many who have not yet developed a true passion for it,would be greatly disappointed how they'd drift away like feather,carried wherever the wind blows..finally into hell.

Wow.You're Very Right,OZOEMENA.

This question opens door to a large thought. I think is very important to find that passion, that exact purpose that God has called us to be on earth. Once we know, it's to never quite until achievement. Like Isaac said, in other terms, it is so easy to have dreams but to end up not living it. May God helps us to be achievers.
