His Love, My Passion

2 Corinthians 13:13, May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

There is a part of me that loves customer service and sales because I love being able to make people happy. I would not say that I love to work, so much as I love performing actions that lead to an end result. The end result is always love in one form or another. If I sell someone a product that will enrich their lives and brings them happiness, I have manifested love. That is a job I can find passion in.

Passion is what actually drives anyone to do anything. Going to work just to make a paycheck is an excuse, and a bad one at that. The truth is, there is a passion behind the need to make that pay check. Whether it is to provide for your family or to simply buy things to impress the world around us, there is still passion there. And the passion is love or the need to feel loved. One example could be: Your data entry employee, who loves his or her job, does not actually get a warm-fuzzy feeling from plugging numbers for eight hours a day. The passion is in the end result that gets them acknowledged for a job well done (love), and earns a wage to take to the bank in order to provide a future for his or her children (again, love).

It brings me so much pleasure to show my wife love and affection. There is nothing I would not do to make her happy. Aimee is the cheese to my macaroni and God is the butter and milk that binds us together. The passion that drives our relationship is love. As God is love, may I recognize that it is His passion in all that I do.

John 2:17, Then His disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house burns within me.”
