1. a powerful emotion or appetite
2. ardent love
3. a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything
Finding passion. Finding passion takes desire. Passion is an unrelenting drive. You have to want something so bad that it hurts, so bad that you'll stop at nothing to achieve your goal. Your passion is your obsession. All you want to do is eat, sleep, breathe, and live your passion.
We find ourselves being passionate about the everyday things of life--basketball, cooking, eating, knitting, or even croquet. In ten years, who knows if these passions that we hold so dearly will even be present in our lives. In ten, twenty years, we will have new passions and desires.
How is it that we have so much passion for these things that will pass, but we lack true passion for the one thing in our lives that saved us and that will always be there? The challenge is to become a truly passionate Christian. Fill your every waking moment with God. Desire nothing else but to be the best Christian that you can be. Desire everyday to love Him a little bit more, trust Him a little bit more. Dive into Scripture and into communication with God. Quickly you will find that burning, can't sleep or eat, desire that pushes you to be a better Christian.
Push yourself to find His passion.
