Ardent...

Have you ever been ardent about something?  Intensely devoted?  Eager?  Enthusiastic?  So devoted that whatever it is you are ardent about is written in indelible ink in your mind??? If you have been devoted to something that you are adamant about - what is it?  And, why is that so important to you?

And, consider this:  Indelible means something that cannot be removed, erased, eliminated, forgotten or changed.  What in your life is written in indelible ink on your heart or mind or life?

Think about the people you know:  Family, friends, colleagues, co-workers, long-lost relatives, church members, parent-teacher supporters, sports enthusiasts, artistic fanatics, people you know, and
people you have never met.  Some are devoted to teaching, some to fellowship, some to breaking of bread together, some to prayer.  Some to music, some to art, some to wood-working, some to repurposing old items or antiques, some to contemporary.  Some are devoted to awe and wonder, some to nature and creation, some to science,  some to research, some to entrepreneurial endeavors, some to simplicity.  Whatever "it" is - they are completely enthralled by it!

We each have been given unique gifts, talents, abilities, and interests that can benefit other people.  What is your unique gift?  What can you fan into flame that would be advantageous to others?  Could there be an area that you have developed and become an expert at?  Would you consider teaching others your craft?  Your gift?  Your talent?  What can you share?

And, if you have never had a passion that you are ardent about or devoted to, consider finding one!
There is so much to explore in this world and I believe are meant to share it!!!

2 Timothy 1:6
"For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you!"

Try it - you may find a completely new adventure which you were born to ignite!!!
