Heart Attitude
February 1, 2013
I love watching the skill and passion of great athletes as they give their all on the field. It shows their love for the game. Conversely, when a long season is winding down and a team is already eliminated from any opportunity for championship or playoff games, sometimes it seems that the players are merely “going through the motions.” Their lack of passion can be disappointing to fans who have paid to watch a good game.
Passion is a key aspect of our personal lives as well. Our heart attitude toward the Lord is revealed in how we serve Him. The apostle Paul said that our service includes the way we go about our daily work. In Ephesians 6:6-7, we read that we are to approach our work, “not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.”
For me, the key in that verse is “from the heart.” I have a heavenly Father who loves me deeply and sacrificed His Son for me. How can I do anything less than give my very best for Him? The passion to live for God that comes “from the heart” provides our best response to the One who has done so much for us.
Father, every day offers opportunities for me to express
my love for You. May the passion with which I live, work,
serve, and relate to others be a fitting expression of my
gratitude for Your love for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The love of God motivates us to live for God.
Read: Ephesians 6:5-9

Ever notice how much we desire to do things of whatever sort for those we love? It comes from within us as a true passion, We fight to protect our children, our faith in God is the bed rock of our life, thus our acts of good for others come from our Christian faith and it is a joy to be of service. We are living in turbulent times, perhaps to the demise of our America. How do we show our passion for our nation? Pass our passion on to our Representatives and Senators, and those we live among, have clear answers for those that ask us “what is the reason for our passion?”
Father God, forgive us our sins, they are many, help us turn to Thee in faith and away from our sins, forgive us LORD, keep us on the path pleasing to thee, let us not be deceived, it is to Thee we look for our good, we love and worship at thy feet, in Jesus name, amen
