Passion
PAssion is what drives us.
This is a word i've been hearing from God. Passion. His passion for us. His burning passion. Our god is a god of emotions. he is not just a god who says he loves us, he is passionate about us!!
What do i mean? God fights for us. He is our strength and shield. He is our strong tower. he defends us, he avenges us. He covers us. He desires a relationship with us. What else can it be but love?
We say that god loves us. But many times we think that means god wnats us to have a good life, a life worth living. And we forget, god loves us as a man loves his wife, as a bride and bridegroom loves each other. With passion. With intimacy. With a love that is alive, in emotions. With a love that is alive with power. Jesus died for us, not on a whim or a dare, not just because he loved god, because he did, but he did it also because he loved us. God withhold calling legions of armies to save jesus from the time simply because he loved us. He was passionate enough for us that he allowed his son to suffer, and his son suffered because he too loved us with a love that could die.
God is crazy about us. And i mean, he created us for fellowship. He did not need man, he had the holy spirit and jesus. He created animals before man. But he made man special. A cut above the rest. A mould unlike any other. He made man to commune with god, and to do that, he made man to be able to commune with him. And he made man to commune with one another. Ever fibre of our being is an image of God. Our emotions come from God. Every feeling we have, god has. The only probelem is when we let those emo ou of the box and into the wild.
God is passionate about his people. He does not sit back and wait for us, he does not hold a cane for us to be whipped when we sin, he actively pursues us. He calls us in the morning, he speaks to us in nature. In our desires, in our hobbies, all things are created by him for us. He wants us to be satisified in him before anything else. God is a passionate god.
As i wirte this, i know i will be sharing about this in church. Pray for me ok?
