When an artist is struck by a an image, he sets down his palette, takes out his brushes and paints on his canvas. He does not care if he is alone in a wide, open field. He does not mind if he looks ridiculous: That is Passion!
Colossians 3:23-24 “V23 – And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. V24 – knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ.
“...whatever” Everything we do in life should be done heartily as if we are doing it for the Lord.
“...do it heartily” You do – teaching, running, parenting, plumbing, etc. – we should do it heartily. “Do it with all our hearts!”
“...as to the Lord and not to men!” The passion we put into any project and activity in life is a good reflection of how we esteem the “ONE” for whom we work!
“...for you serve the Lord Christ.” THE SOURCE OF PASSION!
Discover the passion that is already within & build on it – fan the flame and make it alive (2 Tim. 1:6).
