i feel a passion rising up in me again,
a passion that has been unfamiliar for a few years now

a passion for people - the revival of people
a passion I once felt and turned into an idol
a passion God had to break me of so that I would see Him for who he was
before I tried to "fix" the world on my own

I am convinced of the love of God.
a love that for so long I longed for.
a love I had to ask God to show me everyday,
God show me the love of Jesus
show me what the cross means
show me the love of Jesus

and he Did.

and it is the air I breathe.

Rod says for us to ask God to put it at the center of our being
that is it the air we breathe out.
that we look like the gospel as we walk and talk.

i am convinced that people will not change until they see feel taste the love of Jesus Christ.

if this is the one thing that we actually "get" in this life
let it be that Jesus' love covers all
and let that be written in our eyes

lately, the experiential knowing and breathing of the Love of Jesus is slim for me. but i am hopeful of it's revival in me. and certain that He is doing something in me which is important (being broken of some things).
you encourage me.
