"Never give up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord." Romans 12:11


Passion is a powerful force. And, it is an empowering force.

One evidence of true passion is that it perserveres. It never gives up because it is motivated by sincere desire and strong belief.
You can drive to a nearby airport and fly anywhere in the world because two brothers from Ohio had a passion to create a flying machine.
You can flip a light switch and illuninate a room because Edison had a passion to create the light bulb. He failed with thousands of materials for the filament until he finally found one that worked! But his passion to succeed drove him to fame and fortune - and lighted entire cities world-wide.
The image or the word picture here is that of a steady boil. Passion is a fire in your soul that boils continuously providing spiritual strength and energy. Do you have it?
Do have a boil you need a source of water and you need heat. Right?
Where do you get those?
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again. But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give is like a flowing fountain that gives eternal life." John 4:13-14
Jesus stood up and shouted, "If you are thirsty, come to me and drink! Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say." John 7:37-38
When you have Jesus you have a continual source of living water springing up in your soul!
Where does the heat come from?
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Luke 3:16
The fire is the fire of the Holy Spirit! When you have faith in Jesus and are filled with the Holy Spirit, you have what you need to boil with passion for God! That passion will give you power and perseverence so you can be strong in the Lord!
You will never lack in zeal and you will faithfully serve the Lord!
Are you living in Jesus?
Is His Spirit living in you?
