Continuing on with the seven questions I intended to answer from If you want to walk on Water you have to get out of the Boat, I’ll proceed to give my answer to the following two questions.
How much passion do I experience in my daily life?
If you would have asked that question a couple of years back, I would have told you that I experience a lot of passion. That I feel that everyday is a new day to bless other people, to pray for other people, to be blessed…
But since I’m here living in the NOW, I must make another confession: I don’t experience a lot of passion, or at least, no the kind of passion I would like to have.
Sometimes it is just too easy to wake up, lift up a prayer of “thanks Lord” here and there, and then, move on to do everything else mechanically as if programmed to just exist, but not live. A person can be passionate about his/her day only on the surface.
We can get too acquainted with the worldly things and the worldly people that we fool ourselves into thinking that because we’ve interacted with them and pour out our heart into it; we’ve lived that day passionately to the point of finding them satisfactory, here’s where the danger lies.
But when you go home, then, you realize how superficial and lifeless you are, that the things you consider worth it are nothing but just a blur, rubbish…That gives me no reason to live and to experience godly passion throughout my day.
I want to be passionate about life. I want to wake up everyday with wings of eagle.
Those who live a passionate life, are those people who change the world because their passion is so contagious that people around them are compelled to change, to live, to be passionate about God, life and others. I want to be a 1 Chronicles 29:28 person, knowing that I’ve lived my life passionately because I did everything I was called to do.
As my favorite Bible verse says it, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 3:14)
I have every reason to live a passionate life: God, family, friends, health, destiny, purpose…
That leads me to the third question from the book: What do I want my epitaph to say?
I want my epitaph to be something like this:
Here sleeps Abelid Sarahi Dominguez, a powerful woman of God who fulfilled her life’s destiny.
She did everything she was called to do:
Planted churches around the world, touched entire nations with the power of the Spirit of God upon her life.
She went to Latin American nations
And became a reformer of the political, religious, and cultural system of the time
turning these nations into nations surrendered to the power of God.
In the early years of her youth, she worshiped God with all her being,
And led thousands of people into the presence of God.
She also was able to break the yoke of a young, stubborn generation
that was in captivity.
She prophesized the word of the Lord, and healed the sick and the broken hearted.
Sarahi was a humble, honorable and wise woman of God.
Abelid Sarahi ran her race and finished it, she won the prize doing everything she was called to do.
And died full of years “at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor…”
