Parents and Students, Our Belmont Lady Cardinals are 3A State Champions! How awesome is that?!!! I am proud of them. They have play hard and sacrificed a lot of time to play the game. I am glad they were rewarded with the golden ball!
As I reflect on life it is interesting to observe the amount of passion we put into our activities, our hobbies, and our jobs. Should we put passion into these things? ABSOLUTELY. God tells us in His Word "Whatever you do, do it with all your heart. Don't do it for the praise of people, but do it for the Lord. He is the one worthy of your efforts." - Colossians 3:23-24 (My paraphrase). As we honor Him by giving ourselves to every other aspect of life (school, sports, jobs, family, friendships, and relationships), let us express the most extreme passion for Jesus Christ.
Passion for Him must overshadow the rest. Prioritizing our passion for Him actually helps foster a richness in the other areas (John 10:10, Matthew 6:33). You see, all the aspects of life are integrated. Jesus never meant for us to compartmentalize our relationship with Him, but to allow Him to flavor every part. This is evident in Him being LORD of our lives. With that being said, let us be flavored with Jesus in such a way that people can say of us, "these people have been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). Live a salty life that draws people to Christ. Your passions will either repel those around you or invite those around you to consider the claims of Christ.
John 3:30, SB
