What do our hearts truly desire? What brings us excitement
and makes us come alive? What turns us off and what ignites our enthusiasm?
Someone once told me, "Being a businessman is my profession, but my
passion is ministry."
Our heart serves as the epicenter of our vision, affections,
desires, ambitions, and dreams. It encompasses the entirety of our life's
passions. What we deeply love and genuinely care about originates from our
hearts.
It's fascinating to realize that, much like our unique
fingerprints, our heartbeats are distinct to each of us. We are individuals
with our own unique passions. What excites us might be seen as mundane by
others.
People who fail to respect our uniqueness might overlook it.
They might demand obedience without transparency, neglecting to care about what
truly matters to us. Their focus remains centered on themselves and their
hidden motives.
Always remember:
"People don't care how much we know
until they know how
much we care."
Another term for heart is passion. There are things that
captivate our intense interest, things that our family or friends might not
share the same enthusiasm for. It could be community work, addressing people's
needs, volunteering, creating music, artistry, teaching, guiding, counseling,
leading, uplifting others, and more.
Our interests are intricately woven into our nature by our Divine Creator. The Holy Scripture repeatedly calls us to serve him with our entire hearts and to love with all our life. Failing to do so can lead
to a hollow life, devoid of direction, and perpetually adrift.
But how do we ascertain that we're truly living our passion?
The first sign is excitement. When engaged in activities
that resonate with our hearts, no external force is needed to push or motivate
us. We are intrinsically driven. Even without external rewards or recognition,
we remain devoted and fulfilled in our pursuits.
Conversely, when we lack passion for what we do,
discouragement creeps in easily, eventually leading to abandonment.
The second indicator is effectiveness. Operating in harmony
with our divine design, bestowed by our Creator, enables us to excel over time.
I hold the belief that passion is the fuel for achieving
perfection. Consider my own recent discovery: blogging. Initially unfamiliar, I
can confidently say I've improved significantly over time.
Most achievers in various fields are driven not by duty or
financial gain, but by genuine passion.
Dear friend,
Let's uncover the desires of our hearts—those things we're
passionate about and love to do. Let's not merely endure what fails to satisfy
us.
May we uncover the true purpose of our lives and embrace our inner calling. Once discovered, let's use it to honor our Divine Creator and bring glory to Him.
