Passion

There’s something about passion that makes the world fall at its feet. What I mean is, when someone is with passion, you cannot help feeling either repulsed and touched. A speaker with passion can touch many more than a speaker who does not seem to know or love what he is talking about. Passion makes the world a better place, in that without passion, where’d we have all the organizations to help the needy and the poor?

Of course, it isn’t enough to simply have passion. Passion without action is dead, as with faith sans action. I mean, what’s the use of raving passionately about something but doing nothing about it? Action coupled with passion and a good goal can be world-changing.

I suppose each of us have, at one time, been gripped by passion. But it isn’t easy to keep the flame alive, especially if you try to avoid the thing that makes your heart break. Sometimes, action does not really seem quite feasible, but prayer is a sort of action in impossible situations, where you are powerless to help. Now sometimes, of course, one may imagine oneself to be utterly powerless when in fact the opposite is true.

Passion for the God-given vision. If only every Christian had that.
