A passion for the christ

Pastor Johannes preached a message from his heart, ministering to mine. How true it is that I have fed my spiritual tank hording all that God has done for me waiting for the day when "I am ready" to give everything to him. A passion consumes a person becoming their waking thought and every desire. I realized tonight something very important. Something you must be willing to see before it can take seed in your life. I saw my life through God's eyes. I saw how I dissappoint him. I replayed every time I prayed saying "God I give you my life use me" but only to fail by consuming myself with life and never truly "Giving" to God. Giving your life is trusting him with those things most precious like your dreams, aspirations, relationships, and future to him. "I will give you all" is not just a song, it is a lifestyle, a day to day routine of establishing trust and faith in God.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, but faith without works is dead. In other words faith comes by every day reading and obeying God's word. To have a passion for something is to be consumed by it. It is getting to the point where nothing else matters in life. How can I be passionately in love with Jesus when I don't read my bible and I struggle to obey its every word? How can I lay hands on the sick if I have no faith? How can I let my light shine if I have worries and things I am not giving to God? The answer is I can not do any of those things.

God forgive me! Help me to remember how many stripes you bore for my sins, the blood you shed for my redemption, and the death you suffered for my eternal salvation. Help me to remember that I have a responsibility to share this good news. Help me to focus on you and to give you everything. Jesus you must be my one passion in life!!! Like David prayed "create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a right spirit within me.." Amen
