Whether you prefer a pat on the back, verbal approval or a hug, you have to prepare yourself for arid periods in life. When signs of encouragement are absent, what will keep you going? As for me, I am determined to stay true to my passion.
If I’ve learned anything from previous trials, writing brings joy to my soul. Without spending time daily reading the Bible and reflecting upon it’s message, a part of me is missing. Regardless of how disappointed I may be at times, I can’t message success based upon how many visitors read my posts.
Rather, I need to be faithful to Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:33. Despite how famous, popular or successful one may become, your priorities is what is important in God’s eyes. Therefore, whether you’re an athlete, gifted musician or an individual trying to get the most out of life, seek God first. As you strive after eternal things, you will stay true to your passion and God willing discover your purpose in life, Romans 12:2.
