My problem is, I have hard time
writing unless my heart is exploding. Okay, maybe not exploding, but feeling
intense. This becomes a bit of a hassle, because ninety percent of the time am
busy, but I love to write.
My guess is that the same is true of
so many writers. Do you have a few things that you do just because you love
them? Do they make you feel awake, as if today’s your first day and you’re
sensing everything afresh? Maybe you feel energized when you’re writing music.
Maybe you sense the passion when you run or swim or speak your mind. Maybe you
get worked up when you talk politics. Whatever your “thing” is, that passion
helps keep you going. Sometimes you have to pump yourself full of coffee to
trick your body into imitating that passion, but you can’t replace the real
thing. That passion is what makes you, YOU
You and I are most alive when we are
passionate about something. Our brains speed up. We become more sensitive to
our surroundings. Our emotions take an exit from “Average,” and we start to
feel intense. I think there’s a meaning behind this phenomenon.
We were hardwired for passion.
Not just momentary emotional highs.
Not short-lived bursts of
inspiration.
You and I were created to have
overall purpose etched into our lives. That purpose becomes a passion
that-whether we always feel it or not-helps to guide our decisions and define
the way we live.
We’re meant to have a cause-a mission.
There’s a reason for the “wildness in us.”
Though school, relationship drama,
worries, and the general buzz of life can steal our attention away-we’re meant
for more. Our wildness was created on purpose, an echo of our Creator. Call it
a longing for forever in a world of what’s temporary; call it a cry to the
heavens for some unbroken place to stand. We were created for God. While we may
funnel our passion in other things-like school, friends, status, success,
popularity, and daily worries-we were originally designed to funnel our passion
to giving God glory.
We were made for more than a list of
causes. We were made for one.
One Scottish woman became so passionate about the Cause that she determined to
share it with others. Amy Carmichael left home and traveled to India, where she
worked to rescue orphan girls from sex slavery; long before sex trafficking
became a widely publicized issue. She did not return to her homeland, but
poured out her years helping children the world had forgotten. She’s buried in
India where her adoptive children built a birdbath over her grave, to remember
the beauty of her life
Remember you are not just wired, you are hardwired for Passion
