Passion Breeds Simplicity, So What Is Your Passion?
When you are truly passionate about something, you get tunnel vision for it and add or subtract other things in order to make the time to pursue your passion.
You will always make the time to do what you want to do no matter how busy your schedule has become.
According to the U.
S Department of Labor the average person changes careers 3 - 5 times during their lifetime, so it stands to reason that many people are not happy with the career path they have chosen and can't see themselves working in it for the rest of their lives.
Even with so much discontent, it is still a hard thing for most people to surrender their life to God when they can't always see the end of the path on which He takes them.
The only way this is possible is to discover His "true character" by being diligent in the study of His Word and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal truths that you will never be able to understand any other way.
The more you seek God, the more He will change your life and give you a passion to do what He desires.
I used to worry about Him asking me to do something that would make me totally miserable, and could picture myself having to do it for the rest of my life.
I imagined myself dragging out of bed each morning to force myself to do the work He called me to do.
I WAS SO WRONG! When you truly want to be in the middle of God's Will, you will be very excited to do whatever it is He wants you to do.
You won't go to sleep each night dreading the next day, or wake up and have to drag yourself out of the bed.
That is not to say that you will never have a bad day, but you always know who is in control.
God desires your life, but He has great plans for it.
He wants you to become focused on what He wants you to do instead of having your own agenda.
There is great peace in the diligence of pursuit when you have a single focus.
Without it, you will end up making very little progress, whether in the secular world or working for the Kingdom of God.
When you know what your life is about, it is easy to sidestep all that threatens to clutter it and orient your world around a single passionate pursuit.
If you have spent years trying to find meaning for your life, give the reins to God and let Him direct you.
His plan will probably be something you have never thought of, but you will definitely not be bored.
You will have just started really living!
