Recovery Day 3

An Unbalanced Schedule is passion killer number three. Very often we slave drive our own selves and as such a lot of people are overworked. If you are overworked, you are going to lose your passion. Vince Lombardi puts it rather aptly when he says, “Fatigue makes cowards of all of us.” No matter how strong you are, when you are fatigued, you will become ordinary. Fatigue drains energy and passion. God wants you to get proper rest. 

An Unfulfilled Dream is passion killer number four. When life happens and hope is deferred [an unfulfilled dream], it kills passion. The truth is being saved does not guarantee you a trial free life. But Jesus tells us to relax and rejoice; and because He has overcome we have also overcome. A lot of us have been told our dreams are unrealistic. Guess what? They actually are because God’s plan for you is what eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard, and that which has not even entered man’s imagination. You are about to introduce your world to a new reality. Never forget, God got you started in this spiritual adventure and God will never give up on you.

Imagine driving around town with a hole in your petrol tank? You may cover some grounds but eventually, your tank will become empty. This is what An Unresolved conflict does. You have to stop and plug the hole. Life and relationships sometimes throw us curved balls. Yet resentment is giving the person that hurt you permission to continue to hurt you long after they have hurt you. The only person resentment destroys is the person that is being resentful and you do not want to be that person. You have to choose to let the resentment go, release the hurt to Jesus, and move on with your life. Reboot, recover your passion, and move on!

Thought: How have an unbalanced schedule, an unfulfilled dream or an unresolved conflict been killing your passion? 

Prayer: Father, thank You for what eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard, and for things that no man has imagined. Teach me to set my priorities daily, in Jesus Name. Amen!
