The loss of passion

Remembering things I’ve been wrapped up in:

Love-Work-Friends-Family-Faith…

I wonder what happens to that passion or desire to be overly involved with situations, things, or feelings? How do we go from “on fire” to “put out”? Is it as simple as saying we grew complacent?

Take reading the Bible for instance, I am so excited and wrapped up in finding out what it has to say, when I can benefit from it right now. But out of obedience, because I should…well now I might as well be taking a daily vitamin too.

There is something in “because it’s good for you” that looses my interest.

Amazingly enough just as simply as that feeling is lost, it’s gained again by a circumstance. For me being single again has opened my eyes to the great men in my life. God fearing, humble, hard working, funny, handsome men. Why didn’t I see them before? Was it that I was blinded by love, or the idea?

I’d argue that what we don’t have distracts us. Looking at the big picture before it’s time for the show to start.

What I do know is, doing what’s good for you will get your big picture more clear when it’s time for you to see it.
