Why… tonight. Passion.

WHY? seriously.

as if it didn’t hit me enough.

Tonight’s cell was about PASSION.

I just realized, King David is such a passionate man. I never actually looked at it in a big picture. Psalms, who wrote most of it? DAVID. For someone that wrote psalms, he must be emo and passionate about what he was doing. He’s a warrior (strong), king (royalty), judge (wisdom), psalmist (creative), husband (lover), and the best of all, God said he’s a person after His own heart. That’s one passionate man.

I can’t imagine how crazy you could be, so passionate about something, besides dying for it… like what i see on the news. Suicide bombings, sports, but even those, some of em are completely wrong and passionate for different things. Guess what, 1 awesome fact… the word passion, one of its meaning is a representation or basically saying that passion, pictures the suffering and dying of Jesus Christ, on the cross. OMG. its in the dictionary!  and people take passion so lightly. including myself.

1 Samuel 17:26-37

But what really stood out to me was… to be passionate about something, first you have to fall in love with it. person.
Then,

1. Passionate people don’t care what other people think.
2. Passionate people, DON’T GIVE UP.
3. Passionate people are compassionate.

there are more to what was typed up here. I could only read and expect myself to do it… but the fact of the matter is, i’ve failed, all three.

After cell group, we planned to watch movie at G’s place, and i decided to take a ride with Alan’s car (he modified quite a bit on that wira) =). As we were talking about cars, i realized, he’s really passionate about it. He can’t stop talking about it. Even if we just take a break in between conversations, he’ll come with a follow up, on cars. One thing i realized, passionate people are contagious. Their passion tend to overflow and makes you get infected. I’m pretty much caught the disease on car, and so pumped up to find a Honda Civic! (so ah beng i know but i love that car, like how some love Minis..)

Its really inspiring. For me.

I thought it was just some action filled movie just steel smashing steel and stuff, but it was, somehow connected to PASSION as well. urgh. i shouldn’t have watched it. But i did. And it did me some good.

When the father sent his son away to the new foster parents, the kid was so upset and didn’t wanna talk to him. The father kept on asking why and telling why he did it and everything, but it all seems to be for the wrong reason, till the son looked at him and told him, “all i wanted was just for you to fight for me“.

How often have i fought for something i really loved?
When was the last time i produced something out of passion?
I don’t even know whether i’m passionate for things i used to say i’m so passionate about.
Love, passion, it connects. Standing up for something i believe in, defending someone i wish for.
Have i ever fought for someone i love?

God can be a joker sometimes, but i guess it could be His way of telling me, to really search my heart, question it for what is true and what’s useless and not supposed to be in, and to stop giving so many facades to someone you know you can be true and sincere with.

 

 

*i love the word facade.*

i’m actually… sigh. God, passion huh? Thanks. A lil heads up earlier with these explanation probably would change the course of what i’m going through. But i guess, i wouldn’t take what You taught me tonight seriously, or at least, those pointed out.
Thank You God. Thank You… i’ll embrace this.

Thank You.
