I have a confession to make.
I have ridiculed the passionless way people live.
I have focused on having an honest and happy life.
I have missed something.
I, myself, am lacking passion.
In my search for a passionate life, I have lost the vision for the passion I claimed to want. I promote a life that is laid back; that doesn't take too many things seriously, and has fun simply because life is good. But somewhere I lost the intensity of loving God and of bringing His kingdom to earth.
I've stopped feeling deeply and too often I just get by.
I've stopped bleeding for the wounded and too often I just shrug.
I've stopped laughing simply because I'm loved and too often I'm cynical.
I've stopped living my life abandoned to God and too often I'm trying to impress.
God, forgive me! Please renew a right spirit in me. Show me how I should live. Let me help be Your hands, feet, and voice to my new community, I beg you. Lead me to the people. Bring Your kingdom today and everyday.

Your humility and honesty is beautiful, Bekah. I guess my confession is that too often I try to appear passionate about living the Kingdom when I'm feeling listless.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've learned is this: even when we're apathetic, we are passionately loved.
Your last paragraph is my prayer tonight.
