passion

ok if I could describe my whole life in one word i'd want it to be "passion"

Our class was asked the question' how would you describe being passionate?
an adrenaline to pursue, heart racing, sold out, a driving force, contagious, to die for, to live for, excitement, an overwhelming emotion, consuming, fuel, unshaken, dedication near obsession for, extreme, uncontrollable, crazy, love.

(so what does it look like for a christian to be passionate?)

first off I have a passion for Christ - because He has a passion for me

Passion is a choice, what does that mean. I can still be passionate for Christ even when I'm on an emotional down. Whether walking through the street or on my knees worshiping my passion can still be the same.

Its a choice its practicing reminding myself "who" He is.

The bottom line of passion for God isn't the experience, its the truth of who He is.

Have that passion and catch the worlds attention. We are a race starved of passion

Isaiah 42:1-8

"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice. he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on the earth..."

(when you feel broken and bruised in your spiritual life, God wont step on you or toss you aside as useless, but will gently pick you up. God's loving attributes are desperately needed in the world today.)

"I the Lord have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my give my glory to another or my praise to idols."

(Look at all the Lord will do for us and through us)

a word of comfort

"I will never leave you or forsake you

You will never leave my sight,

my love my will for you is perfect and beautiful

I am familiar I am that peace that comforts you, that love

I am what you adore

I made everything you desire, you enjoy, you seek

those memories

those places

those moments

I am beauty I am that which you run to

in times of worry, of fear, of need

everything good comes from me

so do good do what you love

be with those you adore

and simply glorify me

thats simply my will"
