Good Morning: A Minimal Devotional

Day 25 of 31 days:

Passion

Good morning.

The only way we will fulfill our purpose is if we have passion. Passion and purpose run hand in hand. Passion was the driving force of accomplishing Jesus’s mission. It allowed Him to endure whatever opposition He faced. What we called pain, He called passion (Acts 1:3).

Passion is irreplaceable. Passion is unsubstitutable. We can have great skills, but if we have no passion, all it takes is a little hardship, and we’ll jump ship. However, if we have passion, we won’t be moved.

It’s key to know that we are responsible for our own passion. There are a few practical actions to keep our passion stirred, but the empires would be remembering our mission and vision. Our why and our where. If we keep those on the forefront of our hearts, we’ll remain driven. I pray we never forget. When we lose passion, we lose everything.

What is your why?

Acts 1:3 King James Version

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

Day 24 of 31 days.

Kindness

Good morning.

Everyone deserves kindness for a couple of reasons. All were made in God’s image. That’s the only qualification. We are also Kingdom people. Meaning we are grateful people who reflect Jesus. In other words, kindness shouldn’t be something that someone has to earn from us. It’s who we are, and therefore, we give it freely.

Could you imagine reading a Bible that wasn’t centered around a kind God? It wouldn’t be one much worth reading. If God wasn’t kind, He would forfeit being God. After all, it’s His loving kindness that causes people to follow Him (Romans 2:4). In a cold, selfish world, we need Kingdom people who are led by kindness. As a result, when they see you, they see Him. Isn’t that what we ultimately desire?

What’s one way you’ll show kindness today?

Ephesians 4:32 King James Version

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Accountability

Good morning.

We all need to answer to our choices. We all need to open up about our struggles. We all need to be honest. We’re better for it. When we are honest with ourselves, someone trustworthy, and the Lord, we will experience His grace, healing, comfort, and freedom. I assure you that God will heal your hurts if you reveal them. I’m reminded of Namaan in the Bible. It says he was a “…man of valor but a leper.” In other words, a powerful leader on the outside, but under the armor, he was sick and decaying. He was broken in a hidden place. It was only when he was honest with himself, someone else, and the Lord that was he healed.

My prayer today is that we admit our weak areas to ourselves, we choose at least one person who will know everything, and we ask God for His healing touch. Let’s not believe the lie that we have to stay in hiding. I promise you that you’re not alone.

In this moment, what specific area will you reach out for accountability in?

Psalm 32:2 King James Version

2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
