Passion vs Comfort

So, on Thursday night at small group we were talking about comfort vs. passion, and that got me thinking!?!?!? I want unbridled passion. The definition of unbridled is unable to be controlled, boundless, and unrestrained!!! I Hebrews 12:2-3 says "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,and sat down at the right hand of the throne of god. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Thats some unbridled passion. He didnt let the religious or angry crowds hold him back, he didnt let his flesh hold him back, and he certainly didnt let Satan hold him back. The cross SCREAMS unbridled passion, because Jesus had never had an unbridled passion he would have never made it to the cross. Many people in the bible had unbridled passion. The woman with the issue of blood. It says in Luke 8:43-48 "And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve year, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him, touch the edge of his cloak, and immediately her blooding stopped. 'Who touched me?' Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, 'Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.' But Jesus said 'Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.' Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed." A few more example of unbridled passion are the blind beggar in Luke 18:35-42, the centurion in Luke 17, and of course Jesus. Paul said in Phil. 1:21 "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Unbridled passion is more than just a strong feeling, its a way of LIFE that is unrestrained by religiosity, mediocrity, opinions of others, selfishness, worldly matters, personal agendas, or routine complacency. It is a PASSION that burns inside beyond desperate heart. A heart that aches like a dying man for the lost, a burden for them bigger than the heaviest weight of the world. This is a passion that doesnt just come around on sundays and wednesdays.It is a passion that is blazing boundlessly everyday of the week, every month, and every year. It is a passion that has no fear at all!!! This is the passion I want. I want to be unbridled. To be comfortable is to be bridled, or to be restrained. Its time we step up and step out. Its a leap of faith to be unbridled, but God is ready for you. Are you ready for Him???
