Yesterday, my sermon was built around the idea of passion – specifically the passion to follow Jesus and serve him with our all. The apostle Paul encouraged each of us in his letter to the Colossian believers to serve Jesus with everything we have – our whole heart.
I was reminded after our first service that the heart was considered, by the Hebrew mindset, as the essence of a person’s being. When we think of our hearts we should think of the inner-most parts of our being – the seat of our emotions and consciousness.
As we live our lives in worship to Jesus from the very depths of our being – with our hearts – we should do so with the clear understanding that the greatest joy we will experience in this life is the giving of ourselves to our fullest ability to his purposes for our lives.
God created you on purpose for his purpose. You are no mistake. One of his greatest desires is for you to experience fulfillment. This comes through a vibrant relationship with him in which you are all-in, whole-heartedly committed to living your life for him.
You can do this!
