Hey Ya'll
So, here we are. Almost three months later and I'm finally writing again. I've missed you.
It wasn't for a lack of words, I had plenty to tell you, but more of a lack of time. Maybe passion. I've heard it once said that vision leaks, and a simple cure to lack of passion is this: talk about it.
When you get together with people who have similar passions as you and you talk about it, beautiful things take place. You remember again why you once loved it- why you ever began in the first place.
Now, question.
Have you ever felt a lack of passion?
I feel like I continue to hear messages and sermons in which a pastor declares that Christians all have joy, fire, continuous fellowship with Christ.
Hearing things like this causes me to wonder what I'm doing wrong.
I don't always have joy.
My fire is always being puffed out.
And sometimes, my relationship with Christ can feel all but nonexistent.
I know He is always with me but I don't always feel Him. To be honest I think this is normal. Not good, but normal. In Romans 8 it says that the earth is longing for the day of redemption. And so am I.
We have to stop comparing our walk with Christ with other people's walk with Christ. The only person we should ever compare ourselves to is Jesus Christ. And with that, I believe, much will change.
