All human beings possess a heart, soul, mind and strength. Nothing of any true significance can be achieved unless this is understood.
Passion is the flesh we put on the spirit of our faith. It is the visible sign that we are involved and enthusiastic about our own convictions.
It has two parts, and each unit requires the other for the passion to be real, workable and acceptable in the human tribe: perseverance and peace.
- If our passion has too much perseverance and lacks peace, we will be dissatisfied with our present conditions and greatly inhibit our progress by coming across too aggressive or too grumpy.
- If we have too much peace, we cut ourselves slack and retreat from challenge because it seems to rob us of our gentle solitude.
Passion is perseverance and peace wed in a matrimony of lust for good things.
It is expressed in this way: “I am chasing my goal and I will not give up, but will have joy with where I am while I pursue.”
In other words, “I want it, but I don’t need it; I enjoy while I seek.”
Human beings without passion begin to settle for circumstances and even ideals which are comfortable rather than transforming. Yet passion has to be grounded in the common sense that comprehends that if we do not find a sense of balance in our everyday lives which produces good cheer, we will find ourselves unworthy of opportunity knocking at our door.
Very simply, no one wants to bless someone who is cursing the world, and no one thinks to offer a new chance to an individual who appears unmotivated.
Human beings need passion.
It is when we use our perseverance to generate the peace which allows us to continue to be perseverant.
