Passion for Jesus

     As Lorraine and I were having our devotions this week, the topic of passion came up.  I was explaining to her that in business, the driving force behind profit is passion.  When you see a successful business or company, if you look behind the scenes, you will see or find passion of the owners or employees for the product or service they have to offer.
     Now, passion is defined as an intense emotional excitement such as enthusiasm or the object of any strong desire.  Passionate is defined as having or showing strong or intense  feelings towards something or someone.
     So, as we were discussing this and talking about the things of God, the Holy Spirit gently spoke to me and said " your passion for Jesus is not what it once was "...... Understand, He did not say your passion for the lost is not what it once was nor did He say your passion for serving God is not what it once was.  He said "your passion for Jesus is not what it once was." 
     Wow !!  Our discussion shifted to another realm.  How did my passion for Jesus slip away?!   I did not need any more prompting nor did I try to explain it away. I just simply agreed with the Holy Spirit, asked for forgiveness then  Lorraine and I  prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to re-fill, renew and refresh my passion for Jesus.
     You know what?  He re-filled ,renewed and refreshed my passion for Jesus.......
     How's your passion for Jesus?!..........
