Passion and Dreams
Many of you don’t know that I’ve been struggling with depression. I think I can honestly admit that. There’s a difference between depression and mourning. Mourning is targeted because there is a loss and complete motivation in life has not been given up. Depression is more like giving up on something because it’s difficult and probably because things seem impossible. Depression, in my opinion, comes from the devil. You know why? Because all things are possible and God doesn’t want us to give up. God wants us to mourn something we have lost.
Where do I stand now with my passion and dreams? I stand to fight for them. It’s from that latest King and Country song “It’s not over yet.” Basically move from darkness into the light, so that we can pursue our dreams and find passion again. Every morning I imagine myself putting on the armor of God (Ephesians 6) and it’s encouraging to know that God put that in the bible for us to help give us an image of what we need to put on every morning. These are the articles of clothing we need: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes for feet as the gospel of peace, shield of faith extinguishing the flaming darts of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the word of God as the sword of the spirit. All these whilst praying at all times in the Spirit. It says to persevere which is something I’ve been hearing from God. We need to be bold and proclaim the mystery of the gospel. The last part is the most interesting: to declare it that we are an ambassador in chains. How do we do that?
I declare we have our dreams and passion rooted in Christ, just as we have our love rooted in God (Ephesian).
What I hope to have in my mind?
- Covenant with God
- Consistency in Action
- Courage
- Completion
