Pushing With Perseverance to Purpose Sample

Passion Precedes Perseverance

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that goes, “When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life!” Here’s the truth, if you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing, you will never have the perseverance to chase your calling.

It’s easy for us to get invested in something for a season. For some reason new things catch our attention fairly easy. However, when the curtain is peeled back and we see that we have to actually work and sacrifice things that we love for things we love even more, we can lose interest and quickly disengage with the calling on our life.

When we’re passionate about what we’re called to do, the outcome changes because our heart breaks for those that we’re called to serve.

I’ve done skate ministry for over ten years and my heart still breaks for the people at skateparks who are hopeless, lost, and in need of the love of Jesus. I’m passionate about my calling and that’s how I’ve been able to persevere and continue to chase my calling through all these years.

Focus:
Spend some time today in prayer to figure out what you’re passionate about. What breaks your heart the same way it breaks God’s? It could be sex-trafficking, abuse, addiction, people living in poverty, or people that don’t know Christ.
