Your Passion?

[Guest FrenchPhenom]

Hello all.

I was thinking about something a couple days ago and I thought Id share it with you.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had a passion. Somedays its stronger than others, some days its compeletly non-existant. But no matter what happens in my life, or when, I ALWAYS find myself coming back to it.

My passion is comic books. I have been reading and drawing comics since i was 4 years old., starting with a 20 character He-Man "poster" i drew for my cousin. I have COUNTLESS stories to tell, some in my head and some half written/drawn.

I figured out this was my passion the other day when I was at my grandmas house and I came across a few old comics magazines (from 99 and 2000) and a stack of old drawings I did. I havent put the magazines down since, even though Ive read them cover to cover about 3 times each.

It just seems that no matter what, I cant escape my love for comics, and Im constantly thinking about them. So heres my question.....

Do you think that God gives us these passions as a clue as to what we are meant to do for our own ministry on earth? I mean Christians often wonder what God has intended us to do on earth, so do you think something that your passionate about is Gods way of saying "THats it, now get to work!!!" ??

So, what are other people's passions (out side of reading the Bible and worshiping God). Does anyone have a passion that ended up being their full time ministry?

God Bless

My passion is music... I have soooooo many albums that I keep listening to over and over and over again... Lucerin Blue's album (sorry, can't remember what it's called....it's been a long day!) I listened to 5 times in a row without a break. I learn lyrics really quickly too which amazes a lot of people.

I would lvoe to use it to spread the word. That would be my ultimate ambition, I guess, though I would love to be a vocalist in general too.

I think it's wonderful and encouraging that you have the desire to use your talents for some kind of ministry. I believe that God would indeed use one with such a heart.

I am still young and not too sure if what God has given me will be what I will do for ministry. But as a youth of the church - I have a heart for the other youth within my Church and around the city. I started giving encouragment/advice to one youth at my school, and now I am speaking at my youth group. I totally believe that it is God who has given me the ability to preach, give encouragemnet/advice and so on and so forth! It's amazing. So yes, I believe that if God gives you some kind of talent - perhaps that is what He wants you to do to reach out to the unbelieveing world.

My thoughts at least.

Be Blessed.
