Restore Passion

Enthusiasm: Dies out when it’s no longer new
Zeal: Goes away when it’s no longer fueled
Passion: What you’re willing to suffer for, live for.
John the Baptist | Matthew 3:1-4
Earthquake at the Death of Jesus | Matthew 27:51
The price of being buried is passion.
Children can teach you what you never had to gain and might have lost.
Enthusiasm dies out when it’s no longer new.
Zeal goes away when it’s no longer fueled.
When you know what you’re willing to give your life for you’ve figured out what you must live your life for.
Life doesn’t come from what you do, but the God who is in you.
What feels like a tearing apart might actually be a putting back into place.
Your dissatisfaction with what is, is always the prequel to the move of God in your life.
Purpose comes by knowing what’s in your hand and what it’s for, Passion comes when you know you’re in his hand and he is for you.
Questions for Reflection:
What does it mean when we say our passions get “buried”? How does this happen?
What are the differences between enthusiasm, zeal, and passion? Where has your faith been in the past and where would you say it is now? What makes passion the higher call?
Sometimes before the Spirit moves, it moves things into order, it puts things back into order, it “rattles.” Where have you seen the Spirit “rattling” in your own life?
It wasn’t until the spirit came into the bones that they became an army, a group of people with enough passion to know what they were supposed to fight for. How do you welcome the Spirit into your life? How do we recover and dig up our passion?
