Through the Bible: ActsSample

## What Are You Passionate About? > "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace." > Acts 20:24 (NIV) > "For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God." > Acts 20:27 (NIV) What separates a passionate worker and an ambitious worker is that one is passionately driven and is internally motivated whereas the other is possibly pulled by external rewards and recognition. Acts 20 and 21 encapsulates the depth of Paul’s passion for Christ. With his heart radically transformed, his vision and goals driven and aligned with his Saviour, Paul was determined to follow Jesus’ footsteps to see that all may be given the opportunity to hear the Gospel of the Good News wherever he went. Despite the many hardships, persecutions and imprisonment, even times on the brink of death, His passion was Christ-centred. His goal was heavenward. We love because God first loved us. Passion is ignited by the Holy Spirit and the continuous infilling of the Holy Spirit stirs up a supernatural hunger to fulfil the will of God. Our passion is turned to pursue a God-given purpose to see His Kingdom come, His will be done. ### Prayer Abba Father, thank You for Your love and redemptive work through Jesus that we receive newness of life. We surrender our hearts at the Cross each day that we may be driven by Your leading in all to see many encounter Your goodness and grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
