Why we do, what we do.

As believers are we supposed to be involved in things that we are not passionate about?

I was thinking and talking through this yesterday. How often do I do things out of obligation? Or, how often do I do things or agree to things without really thinking about them, really seeing if that is where my heart is? I think that i actually do things quite often our of obligation, and i totally believe that is wrong.
I do believe that there are times when we need to ask God for a desire to do something...I just think that it ultimately comes down to our motives behind why we agree to something.

If we are agreeing to committ to something, simply because we feel that, that is what people expect of us, that we are supposed to, cuz we want to please people....no, can't do it, sorry. The motives are not pure. The attitude is not right. Why committ to something that your heart is not into, that your not even the least bit passionate about, or desiring?
We have passions and desires for a reason. So if we just do things that don't lead us into those passions, where we are able to use those passions...why?
But i do think we need to do things that sometimes we may not feel like doing...because God can most definately use that and even maybe bring to light a desire we didn't realize we had.


We are all wired differently. With different passions and desires. We complete the body of Christ, with all of our different passions, gifts, talents, desires...So just because someone may have a different passion or desire than you, does not make either of you in the wrong, or one better than the other. Just means you are different, unique, your own person created by God for God.

And just because someone expects you to do something, that you may not feel passionate about at all, does not make it okay to get involved.
(In my opinion)



"All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD."
Proverbs 16:2

So what are you passionate about? Where is your heart?
Ultimately, may the things of God and God Himself, be your main desire and passion.

Psalm 40:8
"I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
