Passion
I was kind of blew off by the word ‘passion’. It is really a powerful substance that could really change the things around you, change the world. During this few weeks God spoke to me much about passion, in my workplace as well as in church!
Let me just briefly share..
My boss used to study engineering, and during his attachment days, he realised that this is not he want to major in. He discovered that he loves to interact with people and understand people. Slowly he began to find passion in talking to people. Though he started studying engineering, but after he graduated, he actually took up courses to train himself of what is required in an insurance line, such as speaking well and being thick skin. His annual income used to be ‘$3000’. It might sound ridiculous but this is what he went through. Can you imagine a month of 2 to 300 bucks? He started out with nothing but passion in this career. His passion gave him the determination to persevere and till today he became the director whose pay is surely more than a $6000. At the age of 32, he already owns 2 property and working on a third one. *Faint*
Another example that God gave me was that my friend is a dancer, and he hurt his back badly. Because of his passion for dance, he still went for the many practice. No matter how bad it hurts or what it takes, he still went on.
Passion, It causes a person to strive hard without anyone telling them to.
I was thinking.. If christians have such passion.. Things would be unimaginable because it is only passion that could drive a person to do his very best to achieve his or her success.
Revival will surely come. You will see disciples of God, sons of God, serving God without complaints, with love. People laying down their lives, no matter how hurting it is gonna to be, they will still persevere and run the relay for God. People will do things in a selfless manner. People will take care of the lost. Many will achieve their destiny in God.
I believe we can always start with NOTHING, as long as we have passion. Because passion is the factor that gives you the strength to move on, gives you courage to find solutions to your problems met, even at times when you fail or when you fall down, it is the passion that you have that gives you the persistence and move on. if we all have the passion for revival, passion for God, for Christ, then, even in the outreaches that we have, will be total different 360 degree because it is the body of Christ working together for the kingdom of God. When i saw how Tai Wan is reaching out, i could really sense the fiery passion the people had for Christ. They were all so on fire. The work produced from someone who has passion is different level of standard and excellence, because everyone gives their best. Passion is gives you the happiness and satisfaction. People succeed in Olympics, got champion, is not solely because of pure practice, it is because 他们热爱 whatever they are doing。
Passion for God, Passion for Christ.
I was really amazed and more encouraged to continue to serve God and serve people.
What about you?
With love,
