If you were to take an internal passion test, what would be
the result? Has your zest and zeal fizzled? Are your relationships struggling
as a result? Are you? Don't settle for “making do”, when the very best is in
sight. The solution may just be re-prioritizing.
Every day you are exchanging time and resources for your
efforts. Each day arrives fresh and new as a gift from God. What if you were
you live your life boldly, with passion?
He gave us life in Him. We are gifted to live life for Him. After
all, God has purposes in mind for our lives!
Today, as I visited a friend, we settled in for a talk and
some coffee. Enthusiastically we caught up on our lives and encounters with
others and we rearranged a vase on her table filled with flowers. It was a
lovely sight – full of colour presented in a beautiful vase. However, just as
the bouquet was bought, it was plunked right into the vase. As we removed the
beautiful stems, we reflected on each flower and its beauty. Gingerly, we
started to put them back – tallest in the middle, tapering out, accented with
filler and a variety of colour. The end result was stunning! Pulled together! Extraordinary!
The flowers hadn't changed, just the arrangement of them.
“The plans of the
diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to
poverty.” Proverbs 4:26
So it is with our lives, we have a bunch of things to do in
our day. We can just haphazardly go about doing just that or carefully . . .
deliberately . . . intentionally . . . consider all the different tasks to
prepare for, take care of and carry out and then prioritize and place them in
position in our schedule. A life of excellence!
“Ponder the path of
your feet, and all your ways will be established.” Proverbs 4:26
We must seriously consider the value of our tasks,
prayerfully, this one change can greatly affect our lives and the passion
conveyed with it.
“Commit your works to
the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.” Proverbs 16:3
Press in and press on,
Giselle
