The power of passion

Our passions really drive what we do. There is a huge difference between liking something loving something/someone. Do you remember your first love? That girl, fellas or that guy, ladies? Do you remember how you fell in love with that particular sport or maybe it's your career? Whatever it may be, passion fuels purpose. You see, God's purpose was to reveal His passionate love and commitment towards you and I even while we were yet sinners (His enemies). This act is very unusual and unlike anything we can understand in our narcissistic, self-absorbed culture. It is like choosing to die for a convicted criminal who seems to be completely unworthy in every way. But it was the eternal Love of God that controlled and compelled Christ to empty Himself, physically suffer, and die a criminals (us) death on Calvary. Oh, what a Mighty Savior! A glorious Savior! As He propitiated the righteous anger of God toward US! Hallelujah what a Savior! So, what's your response? I will tell you what God is saying, dear friend. He is saying, seek Him like never before. Seek Him no matter your circumstance. Seek the Lord and His strength continually. You are too close to what God has for you to stop. You’re on the verge of entering into another realm of glory…. God is getting ready to pour out every blessing you prayed for but you must remain passionate and persistent. God will empower you as you keep your heart and mind fixed on Him. Go after God fervently with passion. Let the Lord be your chief desire and focus. Love the Lord YOUR GOD with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.... And remember, beloved, not perfection,  but pursuit! Pursue God passionately in this season. See how things transform in your life...... "May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give to all Christians peace and love with faith. May God's grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with Undying & Incorruptible Love." -Ephesians 6:23‭-‬24
