Mark Twain said, Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
This quote appears on a Web site intended to help people discover what they are passionate about so they can live with greater significance.
The apostle Pauls passion in life was largely driven by concern for the eternal destiny of others. In 2 Corinthians 5, he names three things that fueled his passion. First, he recognized that he was accountable to Christ for his service and wanted to give a good accounting at the judgment seat of Christ (vv.9-10). Second, Paul was driven by Christs love and a desire that others would know the love that he had experienced. In verse 14 he wrote, For the love of Christ compels us. Finally, he understood that a lost and dying world needs the Savior (v.20).
What are you passionate about? Pauls passion for people was fueled by the love of Christand ours should be as well. Lets apply Twains words of challenge to our efforts in outreach: Sail away from the safe harbor. Share the love of Christ with someone today.
