Most passions of this world come and go like an emotional roller-coaster. Following the latest trend or new idea is cool for a time then the wind blows in a different direction and something else comes to take its place. This should not be the case with regards to our passion and devotion to Christ. We are raised to new life with Christ... forgiven and free.
This morning I read that "Passion is the degree of difficulty we're willing to go to achieve the goal." What a simple yet powerful definition for this word. This definition takes us past the emotions, the goosebumps and butterflies. It lets us know that it is a tough optimistic enthusiasm that we must possess to achieve the goals that God has placed in our hearts.
Christ is our perfect example of this kind of passion. He lived His life knowing what he was to endure on the cross yet, He was spurred on by His love for us... his treasure. Let our worship to Him have that kind of passion, where we are going after Him with every ounce of our being no matter what.
