Passions of all shapes, sizes 

3.9.2018
|
Daily Grace

At some point in our lives we encounter a hobby, an interest, a cause that intrigues, inspires, or provokes us. Passions come in all shapes and sizes, and one person’s passion might be another person’s bane. 

Sometimes passions simply smolder unnoticed until we recognize them. Other times we stumble upon a passion – a new idea, activity, or career that we didn’t know we would love. It is my experience that when passions are thrust upon us, we are reminded that we are part of something larger than ourselves. 

The Spirit blows where she chooses and she may have plans to blow a small spark in our souls into a bright and consuming passion. 

This message is an excerpt from “Passion that chooses us” by Angela T. Khabeb in Café.
