~Passion~

What do you have a Passion for?    What makes your eyes light up…you know that topic that you could talk about all day to anyone??  Sports, politics, shoes, your job?
One of mine is coupons!  I love helping people save money!  However, as I was searching for one more coupon the other night, God sweetly whispered in my ear…”Search for Me like that.”  Ouch!  My passion for the Lord should far outweigh my passion for saving money!

In Sunday School we have been reading a letter Paul wrote to the Colossians.  You can hear the passion that Paul has to spread the news of the gospel. 
Well what about us?  Do we have that same passion for the lost as well as to see Christians growing in spiritual maturity?

So, how can we exercise this passion?
*Begin your day with the Lord.  Ask God to use you!  Then-
LISTEN FOR THE HOLY SIRIT’S PRODDING AND DIRECTION like the nudge to go talk to someone or to buy groceries for someone.
WHEN YOU ARE PASSIONATE FOR THE LOST YOU ARE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE HIS WORD.
GOD CONSTANTLY PREPARES PEOPLE AND PLACES THEM IN OUR PATH.
*Prepare your heart so you will hear God.  Obey HIM when He speaks.
