Some of you may be able to see how God used a series of circumstances in your life to do something huge. I have always been thought of as a “passionate” person. Now, this passionate personality is not always a good thing. It is good when you have something to get done. However, it is not good when you keep yelling at the referee at your brother’s basketball game. It is not good once you start talking and cannot quit talking fast enough. Word Vomit….that’s a good description of it. You know, it happens to all of us. In the midst of saying something, we realize that it should not be coming out of our mouth at that particular time and we can’t retrieve it quickly enough.
Passion. Passion can be a good thing. Even though I am a passionate person, I went through an era in life when I was not passionate. But during this passion-less time in my life, God was orchestrating a series of circumstances that would later on make me a passionate person.
My passions right now started years ago, in high school. I can see how God used the painful experiences to make me passionate about finding justice in those same situations. The same memories that God rescued me from made me who I am now. He orchestrated every situation: from what book I read, to what I saw on television, to the people I met, to the testimonies I heard, to the things I saw…He orchestrated to make me passionate about social justice.
What is your passion? Do you have a passion right now? What makes your heart leap? What makes you passionate? God will use that passion.
