Everyone has a passion. I have a friend who says that one of the most defining traits of a person is their passion. Whether it be art or creating or being active or learning or relationships, everyone cares about something. If you don't, you're missing out on one of the greatest things life has to offer.
But is it possible to lose the fire of those passions? Yep. I know. I'm there. It's not that I don't know why I do what I do... I know that I'm here to serve and love. But what happens when all the love has been drained? When you feel so raw that you can't take on anything else? What happens then? How do you get more? Because I know what I'm supposed to be doing. But I don't have my passion. My drive. My love.
But maybe that's why I'm empty.
My passion.
My drive.
My love.
They get me nowhere. I've got nothing to offer.
My love is limited.
But God's love is infinite.
His passion is abounding.
His drive is like a hurricane.
I don't need more of my love. I need more of God's love. My passion is weak. God's is forceful. I have no drive. But God is a steady, keep-moving kind of god.
Oh Christ, fill me up with Your love, Your determination, Your passions. I can't do this. I can't love perfectly or stay with something or really and truly care about something with self-abandonment. But You can. Pour out Yourself into me, that I might love and care and fight more like You.
