Naked Passion
April 4, 2008
So I’ve been speaking to my calling. Reviving that which was once alive and vibrant inside of me. Crying out to God to awaken my soul. I want to be used. I want to to walk in power. I want faith. I want trust. I want life.
Passion is rising up inside of me again. I have to tame the frustrations that come along with it. Passion is raw, Passion is unbridled. And passion can turn into resentment if you don’t direct it.
So I’m calling myself out. I need to step up. I need to have vision in order to receive passion. My purpose is found in Him. In saving the lost of this world. In bringing glory to His name. In enlarging my capacity to expand His kingdom.
I’m stepping out in faith and I’m taking the blinders off. I don’t know if the voice I hear is God. But I need to trust. With stepping out comes mistakes. And I’m ready for them when they come. And when the haze lifts I will know my shepherd’s voice and He will lead me into my destiny.
There’s a transition coming and I can feel it. Not because of what is being spoken around me, but I feel it in my core. My life has remained the same for so long, my soul is uncomfortable in this body. It wants to grow, it wants to take form, it becomes antsy in it’s state of being.
So change is inevitable and the transition will come. I believe I know what it will entitle, but then again I could have no clue. But no matter where He takes me, I can honestly say now, for the first time, I am ready to follow in any direction. Whether it means a change of scenery for me, or just for the people around me. I am ready to live it out. I have no fear for the future. I only see the possibilities of God’s power in my life.
Power is addicting. I crave it. I desire it. I want to have it and release it. It’s coming and I can feel it. And it only comes through my intimate heart for Him. Power without love, is a religious act in a spiritual cloak. I don’t want power in exchange for love, I want love expressed through power. It’s coming and I can feel it.
Like when the animals know when a storm is coming, they become anxious and restless. They take refuge during the storm only to come out of it refreshed from the out pour. I am anxious. I know transition is coming. I will take refuge during the change and I will come out of it with power, purpose, and passion. And I’ve never been so secure in that in my life.
