Do It Because You Love It!

Often times we fall out of love with that which we do because we have no passion, desire or love for that which we love. How can one love something, but lack the love for the thing that he or she claims to love so much? I believe that we have been conditioned in this generation to be infatuated with persons, places or things apposed to having or possessing true love for them. Infatuation is simply put "instant passion" or in other words, it doesn't last. We understand this from a relational standpoint: for example, guy meets girl, girl is desperate for guy, guy has one track mind, girl is infatuated with guys possessions, they have a rendezvous, several dates and phone conversation for 60 days, then become estranged.

We can go to any bookstore or purchase a DVD with that story line.

Ironically, we have the potential to do that very same thing to God...how so?
God gives you a vision about your future...its so vivid and clear there is absolutely no doubt that it is from Him. You tell no one, but it seems every where you go some one is confirming what you believe was whispered into your spiritual ear about your future. You can't keep from smiling and you love God even more. You are amazed that God would reveal this to you.

So you decide to share with everyone that which you believe is your purpose or destiny for your life. Those individuals you decide to share these things with become more excited than you. Everyone begins celebrating the idea you shared with them and this takes you on another high. Unknowingly to you, you have become infatuated with the idea that God gave you. It is evident by way of the lack of doing anything with that which God imparted into your spirit. That which God imparted in you is in essence the thing He created to propel you to next level.

As long as we are talking about it, we are not being about it.

Love is an action word and if we desire to see longevity in that which God created us to do, we have to work the thing that God gave us. Doing so will cause us to love what we do and do what we love!
