Passion For Christ

Think about it.
Living for Christ. Ministering for Christ. Giving glory to Christ. Glorifying
Christ is what Paul lived for. It was what consumed him. It awakened him in the
morning. It motivated him throughout his day. And it was the last thing he
thought about before closing his eyes in sleep. If we listen closely, we can
almost hear the shout of praise bubbling up in his soul.

Of course, Paul was
a special case. He was God’s anointed Apostle and Pastor. Yet, we might
consider this from a different perspective. Paul is also an example of a
believer in love with the Savior. He is an example of a believer obeying the
purpose of his life. This criterion alone explains his motivation and success.

Every Christian
should be engrossed with a burning love for the Savior. Consider how our
families might be affected if we were consumed with bringing glory to Christ.
Imagine what would happen in our communities and churches if we discovered our
purposes in life, then pursued them passionately like Paul.

It’s about being a
Christian. It’s about being in love with Christ.

Dear Father, thank
you for your love for us. Empower us to passionately pursue our relationship
with Christ. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Be strong and
courageous today with passion for Christ,
