Passionate People

I have been dwelling on this thought recently about what it means to be passionate. It is so hard to define for me. Though I often find it hard to define, I can easily say when it is real. For me, spotting true passion is like spotting a real smile. You know it when you see it. There is something so attractive about passionate people. You just know that they are on an adventure and something inside of you wants to be on an adventure too. They might not have it all together but there is something within them, driving them. You want to be around them so that you can either figure out what it is or maybe go on whatever exciting path it is with them. Passionate people are magnetic. By this time you have already started thinking about certain people you know that fit this bill. I have been fortunate to have met a few wonderful people that possess such passion in their life. 
I remember recently asking one of my friends, "What is it that you are passionate about?" Now, this wasn't one of these things where I just out of the blue asked a deep question; it was in context. But, I knew that I would learn a lot about this person by their answer or lack of answer. However, as it were the answer blew me away. They outlined what they wanted out of life and what was going on in their life currently to push them further toward that God-given dream. 
However, if you think about it, if a person, who was noted by their peers to be a passionate person, were to be asked what it was that drove them to act in such a way and they were able to answer Jesus Christ, what a witness that would be! People would see them and want whatever they had. To find out that something was Jesus, they might just want that too.
Let your light shine before men,so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. Matthew 5:16
