Calling All Passionate People

There is nothing in this world more impacting, intoxicating, or better than to meet someone with passion. I love meeting people that are passionate about anything: their family, sports, Jesus, school, their job, etc... Passion is a strange thing. It will take you to many great places but it will also make you do some crazy things.

Passion says: ive got to study tonight
Ordinary says: i can read through it in the morning

Passion says: stay up late shooting 1000 free throws every night
Ordinary says: no one else is doing it why should i

Passion says: im skipping time with my friends to spend with my family
Ordinary says: i can be with my family tomorrow

Passion says: Lord give me more boldness
Ordinary says: we've been punished we must stop talking about Jesus

Acts 4:29 we find Peter and John gathered with other believers and praying for greater boldness to spread the message of Christ. It takes passion for Jesus and passion for other people to want MORE boldness to spread God's message after just getting in trouble for doing that very thing.

I hope that i am never ordinary, average, or just acceptable. God through me leads me to be bold and passionate for the things and the people in my life.

stay HUMBLED
stay FOCUSED
love GOD
love PEOPLE
