A passion without boundaries, say for prominence, fame, money or any measure of temporary fixes... again... the fruit will be short lived, and you’ll end up with an insatiable desire for more.
A passion for God’s will to be alive in your life fuels your choices and directs every step...healthy passion.
Passion for your family, and your church, and healthy relationships, and for all you are putting your hand to be prosperous...healthy passion.Passion for music and art and its execution to be the finest you can possibly bring...great passion! passion, with Godly purpose.... This is passion that when delivered beautifully, will bring a great sense of fulfilment. There is no greater sense of calm on your inner world when your passion finds its wings in a healthy way.
So my friends.... So much to say, but let me conclude by saying, that I pray with all my heart that this next incredible season would be saturated with stories of how we not only sang the words and played the songs, but we MODELLED the life... part of a Romans 12 understanding of what worship is. If you are consistently running after methods of worship, and not a life of worship, you’ll forever be dissatisfied. As David prayed... CREATE in me a clean heart... RENEW a right spirit within me. So, if your heart is not in the right spot... DON’T PANIC!! Just pray like David prayed... and ask God to bring about the change needed. He is a faithful, most loving God!!!
James 1:26... ’if anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight reign on his tongue deceives himself, and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this, to look after the orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.’
Love you and totally believe in you....
Xxx Darlene.
Let’s go change the world...
