“We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own”.
A Passion for Excellence is a phrase that describes the strong desire of a person to do what is outstanding, extraordinary and remarkable, following a continuous path of trying to live an excellent productive life.
I can hear people say, I’m human and I make mistakes so I cannot always strive for excellence I make mistakes aren’t we all like this. So let me challenge us all by remembering that once we accept Christ as our Lord and saviour, presumably we then accept Luke 9 v 23 Then he said to the crowd, ´If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me´.
So when Jesus says we must deny ourselves and take up our cross daily, He is speaking about “dying to self”, not dying physically on a cross, but dying to our own selfish desires, to do the will of God…. daily. A Christian life is a life of surrender and sometimes sacrifice, but also an adventurous journey.
Imagine Jesus is standing right by you now, WOW goosebumps all over, well wouldn’t we be filled with passion, excitement and want to do our very best for Him, I personally don’t always get it right however I do try.
People with a passion for Christ want to follow him. They want to learn as much as possible about Him, his teachings, and His commands. Passionate Christians love Christ. If you’re passionate for Christ, you desire to grow in your faith and want to have biblical fellowship with other believers. On the flipside the amazing thing is that God is passionate about having a relationship with each and every one of us.
