Not the kind that screams "I NEED A TIMEOUT," but the kind that screams "I BELIEVE."
To be able to believe in things like: trust, a hiding place from bad things, goodness, safety, friendship, forgiveness. To react to life without cynicism. To speak without sounding jaded. To be able to get excited about things. To have FAITH.
Matthew 19:14 (NKJV) - ...Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Shake off the things this world has taught you.... Forget that you've "seen everything" or "been everywhere"..... God has things in store for you and for this world that you wouldn't be able to imagine.
Try to remember what it felt like to be new.

In Need Of... *PASSION*
Yes, PASSION.
I was walking down the road today grinning like an idiot... and then i was driving in my car grinning like an idiot..... and again, i'm sitting here writing this.... grinning like a... an alligator, let's say ;o)
Jesus loves me. God loves me. Passionately.
Romeo and Juliet got nuttin on me n' Jesus.
It's one thing to kill yourself cuz you can't stand to be without someone... But it's another thing to let Yourself be killed because You can't stand to have someone be without You.
God couldn't stand the fact that i might have to live without having Him in my life. So He sent Jesus to die for me, so that i can be with Him forever in the kingdom of Heaven.
That's PASSION.
God loves me so much that He is willing to be with me 24/7... I don't know ANYONE else willing to do that ;o) His Holy Spirit is living in me and guiding me and directing me and has only my best interests in mind. He comforts me, supports me, encourages me, LOVES me....
Paul likens the relationship between God and His children to a marriage between a husband and wife. (Ephesians 5:20-33) That was the closest he could get to describing the relationship we can have with Christ.
That sounds fairly passionate to me....
Ephesians 5:29 (NKJV): For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
