Life Wide Open

My accountability partner and I are going through “Life Wide Open” by David Jeremiah. The book is about living a passionate life. Although we have only read through two chapters, I have been inspired to evaluate and reflect on several areas of my life. “All too rarely do we meet Christians who are equally passionate about ALL of life.” I find it interesting (and sad) that many people (including myself) have segmented their passion. Some are passionate about serving in church but not outside of church. Some are passionate about watching sports but not play sports. Some are passionate about pursuing physical health but not spiritual or emotional health. Some are passionate about building stronger fellowship in church but put little effort to get to know their neighbors or coworkers. Do we choose what we want to be passionate about in life? If God was the source of our passion, does this mean we choose to put God in specific segments of our lives?

Here are more quotes for reflection…
“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.” (Quoting Jack London).
“To find the passion you seek, you must be passionate about seeking.”
“God alone is the source of true passion for all you do in life.”
“Passion is the inner spark, provided by God’s Spirit, that ignites you to live out your God-given purpose.”
