Wow, been a while but now that the semester is over, i’m gonna attempt to blog a bit 
“Passion” is a word that’s been on my mind. I’m not sure how it got into me, but i remember watching a video of “Will smith” talking about his work ethics and how hard he works for what he wants to be. And looking at our current state of youth, it made me think a lot about passion.
I believe a life without a passion is a tragedy. If there is nothing major that excites and motivates you.. i mean, what’s there to live for? When i wake up in the morning, i wanna feel so alive on the inside! I bet you do as well.
I was talking with some close friends and realized we as followers of Jesus, aren’t as passionate as we used to be. We don’t cry out anymore.. and we are not desperate anymore (remember when you were first saved??). We often forget the fact that it’s a tremendous privilege to be where(in every sense) we are at right now! Our passion for the Lord is supposed to grow as we mature, but somehow it’s the opposite! It’s something that we must restore if we want to see a change in our generation.
Unbelievers understand how this thing work. People with passion will lose sleep and forget to eat because they’re crazy about what they do. They work so hard behind the scene of “successful life” and many have no idea what it takes to be there. They’re fueled by their passion. But somehow it seems just “too much” to have that kind of passion for Jesus. I wanna be like that.. for Jesus. It’s really all or nothing, hot or cold. No lukewarm allowed.
I mean.. let’s face it. He was/is so Passionate for you and me, He became one of us to die on our behalf. That’s some passion right there. His heart burns with love for us, and no one can ever change that. I believe the only way to have passion for Jesus is to encounter and understand His passion for us. Then, we can never be the same. Not saying, we won’t stumble… but our eyes will be focused on Him.
How bad do you want it? How far are you willing to go? Is it really too much? I asked myself these questions lately.
I want to love God with all that i have, that’s all. But i wanna do it with Passion. I just realized that my favorite song “Yearn” has the word “passion” hahah. May He bless you with Passion for Him!
P.S I know.. the rose?? I don’t know, it was the first thing that came to my mind :p
