Hope, joy, and peace while never forgetting who it is we call God

A recent person asked how do you find treasures of your heart and the passion of your soul back when it seems like you have lost them. This was a post on the BarlowGirl fan forum I have started to post on. I thought what I wrote may encourage any of you who have wondered where the passion went.

”There are times when you will find that you have lost your passion for things that you once held dear to your heart. I have been struggling with illness for the past 5 years and have faced set backs over and over. I lost my joy, hope, and all passion in life. I couldn’t see past how hurt I was from seeing my life turned upside down. I can look back now and tell you that I was very blind to all that God was doing for me and through me during those down times of the last 5 years.

I don’t know what situations you have gone through, but there is a God who is faithful and never lets go. There are times when we need to stop fighting and let God move. If you are looking for encouragement please read my blog, I have been open about what God have brought me through there. The same God who is bringing me through my frailty is the one who can bring joy to your life again.

There is no magic way to bring joy and passion back into your life, but I know that if you desire God to work it out in your life it will happen. God is the God of all comfort and He will comfort your weary soul now so that some day you will be able to comfort others who have lost their joy and passion in life. 2 Corinthians 1 speaks to that truth where God comforts us so we may be able to relate to and comfort others. I pray that I may comfort you as God has comforted me.

I believe that your passion, love and joy for life are still alive and God will open your eyes to see them. I will be praying that God works in your life in a real and personal way.”

May you be bless by the insight God has given me into this journey I call life. Restore this was for you…… never forget who it is we call God!
