Passion

Look at the works of art; poetry, paintings, music, movies, novels, and sculpture. There is so much passion around us. God created us to be imaginative. Yet, through this Christian walk I feel like I am losing sight of passion. Honestly, Christians should be the most passionate. People are drawn to passion. Our God is full of passion, just look at the works that He created. Yet, I do not think Christian schools ever focus on passion. It seems to be just about academics and being right with God. These are good things, but what about passion? I feel as if passion is lacking in the student body of Moody, maybe my eyes can't see that it is there, but right now this is something that is bothering me. I feel like I am suffocating here because of the lack of passion, but I know it has a lot to do with what I am putting into it and even just the passion I have myself. Yet, the passion feels like it has left me. The passion for life, the passion for the lives around me, the passion for ministry. Sometimes I just sit here staring, wondering why I am here. Not just what I am going to do with my life, though that is part of it, but what does this all mean? What am I missing out on? No one wants to miss out, especially on the blessings God has for them. I want to know what true passion is, I want to be full of compassion and be known for loving life, for loving God, and loving the people around me... passionately.
