What Is Your Passion?

[Bro. Robbins]

An acquaintance of mine asked the question of a group of us, "What is your Passion?"

I asked them, what is your definition for Passion, cause that can mean so many things to so many people. They said, "A passion is an intense drive that one has for a particular thing or activity. It consumes your thoughts during your down time if it's not your occupation. When people ask you what you're passionate about, you don't have to think about it."

After reading through that definition a couple of times... I had to be honest. I think back over my life, and the majority of the people I've known in 39 years of living weren't really passionate about anything. Even most of the ministers and preachers I've worked for, and most of the church people I've known really weren't passionate about anything.

There were things they cared about, but not really passionate. And most of the people I work with, and know aren't what you would call passionate people. They wake up, meet their duties of the day best they know how, try to live right, serve God as best they can, work hard, try to be honest in paying bills, go to bed at night, and tomorrow do the whole thing over again. Not passionate about anything per se, just trying to do the best they can at living.

And I would have to say, I'm not passionate about anything. I don't have a passion. Not saying that's a good or a bad thing, but I don't think there are that many people with a PASSION.

What say you? Do you have a Passion (keeping with the above definition)? If so, what is it? How do you view people without a passion?
