Stuck in Traffic?

Think about when you were last stuck in traffic. Were you angry you were late, sad you were delayed, or upset your schedule was pushed back? Worse than being stuck in traffic is being stuck spiritually. Has your faith dwindled to embers of complacency? Do you feel the fire is extinguished? The passion dissipated? You’re not alone. Many people experience this feeling. At this point, we need spiritual CPR or spiritual booster cables to re-ignite that faith to burn again. Your faith is not for you alone; it’s to be shared with others. But if you don’t have a fire in your soul that burns with passion for God, you’ll lack the power to proclaim the Gospel as He calls you to do. Pray for God to help you see yourself as He sees you. When you have the humility to recognize that you must depend on God to do anything that matters, the confidence to recognize that God made you in His image (Genesis 1:26) for great purposes, and the understanding that He deeply loves you, then you’ll be free to live in ways fuelled by a burning passion to follow where God leads you. The Bible says, the “love of Christ constrains us…” (2 Corinthians 5:14). May God’s love for you re-ignite a burning passion and compel us to live for Him and serve Him, because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
