What Happened To Your Love....What Happened To Your Passion?

What happened?   What happened to your love....to your passion....to your compassion?   When did you stop running with zeal?   When did you stop seeking with all your heart?   What are you following now?   What did you happen to put before your love for God?  

Remember when.....

When you prayed with zeal.....when your worshipped nonstop......when you read your Bible without ceasing?   Do you remember when you sought God in everything that you did?   The love....the compassion....the peace.....the power.   What happened?  

Passion is defined as a strong desire.....a longing.   What are your passionately pursuing?   What are your desires leaning towards?   What has caused your pursuit to change?   Your prayer life to change?   Your study habits to change?   What has gained more importance than God?

Have you ever wondered why we have challenges in life?   Do you think that God wants us to remember that we are nothing and can do nothing without Him?   It's usually when we are facing challenges that we tend to seek God's face.   What do you do when all is good?   Do you still seek Him?   Do you desire sweet communion with Him?   Do you remember that He is the one that brought you to the place of deliverance and peace?  

It's time to remember your first love.   Who He is and what He has done for you.   It's time to put Him first in everything.   When you get up in the morning....put Him first.   When you go to work....put Him first.    When you encounter others....put Him first.   Be a stream that flows....full of love and compassion for others.   When you see someone that is sick...PRAY.    When you see someone with a need....INTERCEDE.  

We have to begin to see that our deliverance is not for ourselves.   Our passionate pursuit is not for our own glory or satisfaction.  We tend to stop pursuing once OUR needs are met.   What about those around you?   Your deliverance is to help you believe so that you can have enough faith to help bring someone else to their point of belief.

So remember....your PURSUIT.....your PASSION......your DELIVERANCE.....doesn't stop with you.   It's to glorify God and to help someone else.   Stop taking intermissions in your walk with God.   God doesn't take intermissions .... He never sleeps nor slumbers.   Check your love walk.....pray without ceasing....pursue God with a passionate pursuit...be a RIVER.....

What happens when a river stops flowing?   It becomes stagnant.....   It becomes filled with dead things.....
God's desire is that you live....that you flow....and that you be full of Him.

Where Is Your Comfort Zone? Have You Found Comfort In Sin or Is Your Comfort In God? Are You Quitting The Wrong Thing?

How hard is it for you to quit?   Sometimes it seems like we have it backwards.   We tend to quit on the things God is telling us to do that...
