There are no better people to be around than those
who have a zest for life and a joy in their
hearts. Few as there may be, when you meet one you
just know it. There’s something about them that
draws you inward, some call it a persons,
“Persona”, I believe God would call it your,
“Passion.” Some say you are just born with that
inner balance and security that is so magnetic.
David was one of those people that had that hunger
for life. It didn’t matter if he was herding
sheep, slaying a lion, or killing giants with
slingshots, David had it, and all around him new
it. They were drawn to him, the bible even states
that “David was a man after God’s own heart.”
But
more importantly it was what he knew he held in
his heart. It bigger than life, a higher calling
so to speak, and anything David came up against
could defeat him. In his heart he new that with
the Lord almighty nothing was impossible. ” I can
do all things through Christ who strengthens
me.”Phil. 4:13.
Even more so than David was a man called Jesus who
demonstrated a life full of passion. So much so
that he was willing to lay down his life for his
beliefs in his heart. He also had it, and people
new it.
There is an old saying that says, we are only as
good as those we hang around. In other words, if
you are a certain level tennis player and you only
play against people of your skill level you will
not be tested and your game will not improve. The
same holds true in our Christian life. Having
accountability partners, being in small groups or
hanging around those that are more mature
Christians in their walk only helps our game or
our own relationship with Christ. But even more
find someone who has it.
One that has that Passion
of the Heart that love for Christ and life.
They’re out there you just have to have a willing
heart in order to find them. Psalms 73:28 “be it
is good for me to draw near to God, I have put my
trust in the Lord God that I may declare all thy
works.” There in lies the answer to “How can I
have that Passion? How can I find those that have
it?” Draw nearer to God, trust in him.
