Fueling your Purpose: How to Ignite Your Passion for Fulfilling Purpose
Fueling your purpose is never easy. However, if you discover your passion early, the process is much easier. We must understand, especially as Christians, that we are designed to do great things.
If you were created to be a solution provider, you should expect obstacles on your path to fulfilling this purpose. You must fuel your purpose by finding and igniting your passion to achieve fulfillment. In this post, we will discuss how to ignite your passion for fulfilling purpose, so grab a seat, and let’s get started.
Igniting Your Passion for Fulfilling Purpose
For some, passion is just emotions. An occasional feeling that pops up, drawing them to a certain person or object of desire. Truth be told, passion is stronger and more profound than a simple occasional feeling.
Passion is a strong force that drives you toward fulfilling the purpose for which you were created. You can refer to passion as the fire that burns within your innermost being, lighting up your soul and giving your life meaning.
While passion is always present, sometimes we lose it because of our circumstances. Rekindling the fire is necessary, as it is a catalyst that facilitates the fulfillment of purpose.
Here are some ways to ignite your passion as a Christian:
Embark on a self-discovery journey
“My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” – Psalm 139:15-16 (NKJV)
When embarking on a self-discovery journey, the usual thing is to take a deep dive within yourself. Experts recommend this process as it helps to uncover your passions. While this may be helpful, it is not as potent as looking at yourself through God’s eyes.
See the scripture shared above. God formed you, so He knows you more than you know yourself. If you are going to discover anything about yourself, you must do so through His help. When embarking on your self-discovery journey, ensure that you don’t do it outside God. Let Him be the focal point of the process.
Connect with like-minded individuals
“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” – Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)
When you interact with people who share your views and desires, something rubs off. It becomes easier to share ideas. You learn from their experiences and use their support as a springboard to propel yourself.
Aside from learning from their experiences, you can develop your skillset around such individuals. More than anything else, as you see them work toward fulfilling their purpose, you draw motivation that helps you on your journey.
Ask God for help
“For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.” – Psalm 36:9 (NKJV)
Without God, igniting your passion as a Christian is a fruitless effort. However, you can do everything through Him because He strengthens you.
As you seek His face for help, a fountain of life flows to satisfy you. That fountain of life is His passion, which flows into you to ignite your passion. The second part of that scripture tells us that we receive the light of revelation as we dwell in His light of holiness. His light allows us to see ourselves as He designed us.
When you see yourself in this light, your passion grows. You develop a burning desire to become who He designed you to be. This desire propels you as you journey toward purpose fulfillment.
