passion born

It crept upon me and seized me because it was directed by the Spirit of God.
Where else could it have come from? Not from me, that's for sure. One month ago, worries and prayers were in its place. I longed for others to help chase away these problems -- location, job, church, everything.
As worries flee, joy -- great joy! -- replaces them. And with joy, passion.
And then I remember... I prayed for this passion. But so brief, so seldom was my prayer that I almost forgot I had prayed it. But God heard it...

and planted,
and watered,
passion
for Him
and for His people.

And now I can pray for them, that they can have passion.
