PASSIONLESS PURSUITS
by Rev Destiny Buss

Where has all the passion gone - where once you knew the way?

Zeal stirs up the majority, “for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority” 2 Corinthians 9:2, Just look at the Presidential campaign; if there’s one word to describe what this voting generation wants, it’s “Zeal.” The news media calls it “change” but what people are really crying out for is Passion: Passion of Pursuit.

Webster’s description of Zeal: Eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something
Webster’s description of Passion: A strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept.

A lifeless lot..

Just this week while house hunting, we met several agents and Banking officials. The common denominator with them all was a very “ho-hum”, lackadaisical (passionless) attitude. This attitude was common from the agents who were uninspired in writing an offer, to the loan agents preparing approvals for the hefty loans that they would make. I kept thinking and hoping that our energy would transfer to those around us, but the reality is, that passion can never be manufactured from without: Only from within.

Who would know..?

There are many in life, who are doing what they love, but you’d never know it! There are many in life who are doing what they think is right, yet never aligning themselves in Christ to know what’s right. And there are many in life just existing day to day waiting for a better tomorrow, never understanding that tomorrow may not be better.

James 4:13-17, "13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin."

Waiting to be happy is a squanderous sin that has great consequence! Hope, faith, earnest expectation are all gifts of Grace that are expected to be an intricate part of a believers life-But to wait for something better, without gratitude for what is in your hand right now, will produce sorrow un-ending, and one day my friend, you may wake to find that your days have passed and you did not live them, only exist in them.

“Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah” Psalm 39:5

Youth or a youthful Zeal..?

This morning I had purposed in my heart that I wanted to work with a younger, more aggressive and energetic person and so I began thinking about all those whom we had come in contact with over the past several weeks. I remembered one girl around my age whom I really enjoyed, but I wondered why someone fairly new to the industry wasn’t more excited and eager: Her outlook on the market was so bleak, that we left depressed!
Now on the flip side, Rev & I met an older gentleman representing a local builder. The minute we walked in the building and made eye contact, both Rev and I could see and feel his passion and Love. So you see Lovelies, it’s not about age at all: It’s about the effervescence of life emanating from you to those around you. Even in the most mundane of times, Jesus is there with you working all things out. Your ministry, work and calling given you was never meant to be cumbersome or a burden to your days, but a refreshing time of renewal and strength, and a time of life to enjoy what you do have, at the time you have it. For who is to say what will be in a moment's wink?

Change the world or be assimilated in it..( The Borg).

Beloved, ponder these words of John 15:5-8,
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “

You are a vine in Jesus, and separate from Jesus you will not find peace, happiness, contentment, purpose, provision, or passion! What you will find is frustration and passionless pursuits trying to fill the vast void that comes to all when one separates from The Guiding Light. If you want to change the world around you, do not become like it! See, hear, and walk in The Spirit and you will not find time for the demands of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16, "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

Stand firm and do not forget your understanding of truth of who and why you are. Believe in yourselves and do not see through the eyes of distraction and clouds of doubt. You are mighty, worthy, ,and held in high esteem. Jesus sees your works and He calls you Good and Faithful.

Ephesians 2:1-5 "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),"

HERE’S THE NUGGET: Pray for new things to come forth and have faith to believe, but as you believe for your desires to be fulfilled, do not cease to live and enjoy the fragrance of the blossoms before the fruit arrives. For everything works in a timely manner, and anxiety and stress will not move one pebble of the mountain: Only by faith and knowing that all things are possible.

Until next time,
Remember that the kingdom is likened unto a pearl..search!
