What is passion and purpose? Where does it come from and how can we use it to get us closer to our destiny? How can we grab on to our destiny and still be led by Holy Spirit? Are we driven by our compassion and purpose or His compassion and purpose? Sometimes we can do the right things and still be wrong, usually because of the motive of our heart. We can even speak the truth in certain situations and still be wrong because the timing was wrong. The walk of faith takes obedience rather than sacrifice. Passion & Purpose!

I think that one way to find out if we are operating in our compassion and purpose is to ascertain whether or not we are getting burned out in whatever it is that we are doing. If we are operating in our own desires, we will eventually burn out and get worn out. Whatever the Lord asks us to do, He will provide His anointing and strength. Sometimes we just plain need to get to the end of ourselves to see the difference. It’s okay and it is necessary. Are we going to do everything right? No! Is it going to get easier to hear His voice? Yes! How does a baby learn to walk? He watches others and then keeps trying until he gets it. The more he exercises his muscles and mind the better he gets. It’s the same with walking with the Lord. The more we practice, the better we get. Mistakes are just part of the learning process, they don’t mean failure. Failure is sitting down and giving up. With the Lord, we can’t fail unless we quit.

I just want to encourage you today to not get in a hurry and get all stressed out. If the Lord is in it, it can’t fail. It will come to pass. There will be peace in the midst of the storm. Don’t let the enemy get you all stirred up. Rest and regroup if you must. Keep on going. Keep on walking. Keep on believing. You will succeed no matter how many mistakes you made. I know, I’ve been a good example in making mistakes and I am still on my way. Have a great and wonderful day.

Joseph
