Where has all the passion gone?

It's amazing how people forget about passion. Have you noticed how many people are just living life... getting by... putting up with themselves and their jobs and their lives for what?

They've forgotten their passion. Remember the passion you had as a child? Remember how much you played and loved and cried and just lived life?!? What happened to that?

One of the things that I believe is that people lose passion because the things that they've chosen to follow aren't really worth being passionate about. Possessions - all get old and fall apart or go out of style or need upgraded. Sex and image - bodies age, people are more than their physicality, hearts can only be given away so many time. Whatever else it might be, it's just simply not worth being passionate about. Except one thing: Jesus.

What does it mean to really follow Jesus? It’s more than finding him. It’s more than knowing about him. It’s more than seeing him. It’s about experiencing him.

Following Jesus is about following the one who leads us to the unknown, the uncomfortable, to the place where there is wonder and mystery – to a way of life that loves in the craziest, most uncontrollable and wonderful ways; beyond hurt, beyond explanation, beyond self and into revolution.

That is worth being passionate about.
