How to recover a passion to live

HOW TO RECOVER A PASSION TO LIVE

“This is what the Lord says to Israel: ‘Seek me and live’…” (Amos 5:4 NIV).

Many times, the human being fails to have a successful life because they stop seeking God.

This makes me think about how sometimes we start to trust in our own abilities, education, connections with people of influence, or in our own insight when it comes to business, and as a result, we stop seeking God with the same passion we use to.

Though this verse says, “seek me and live”, this does not mean that we are dead, however, there are several people that may be living, while still having things that are dead in their lives, such as their dreams or their marriage. They are “living-dead”, because they are only existing, not living.

Why does this happen? Because people stop seeking God. They make seeking Him a simple religion or a secondary thing they do in life.

What is the solution? What can we do to dream again, to live passionately, to restore our dreams in our families and to revive our goals in our marriages, ministries or businesses?

“Come back to the Lord and live!” (Amos 5:6 NLT).

 

“I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place” (Revelation 2:2-5 NIV).

Return to God in worship, and do not leave your house before having an intentional appointment with him every morning.

“This is what the Lord says to Israel: ‘Seek me and live’…” (Amos 5:4 NIV).

Think about it:

What things have died in your life that need to resurrect in order to help you fulfill your purpose on earth?
Why do you think seeking the Lord brings life to your dreams and reason for existence?
