What captures your heart? What are you passionate for? What makes you get all fired up as soon as you hear a certain word?

These are questions we may ask when we are in High school wondering what career we want. But what about when we are older? Does our passions change as we go through life?

What about in our Christian walk?

When I was younger, I remember being on fire for God. I would go to Christian gatherings and leave with a passion in my heart so burning I wanted to shout out about it.

What changed?

Life.

I settled down and made a life with my family. I love the life I have, but along the way the burning desire I had fizzled out a little.

Until now.

Over the past year or so, I have had a desire to serve God more. A desire which has been growing each day. It’s like my heart has been captured all over again. This time though, I won’t let go. I will search and find the gifts I have and use them for God’s work.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. Colossians 3:23
