SQUEEZE

I have a question for you. What kind of juice do you get when you squeeze a lemon? Lemon juice, right?

What about when you squeeze a grape? Definitely grape juice?

Cranberries or limes? Cranberry juice ... lime juice.

How about apples? Apple juice.

Carrots? I'm pretty sure you get carrot juice.

What kind of juice then, do you get from passion fruit? You don't get passion from it, that's for sure. I know that because I've already taken one and squeezed it over my head and ... nothing. Not from the fruit, at least. That's because passion is INSIDE you.

The word enthusiasm comes from two Greek words: en, meaning 'within' -- and 'theos,' meaning 'God.' That's a terrific way to describe the source of our passion. That passion is directed to those around us, but first it has to come from the source and that is God. God is our passion because we were first His passion. He loved us ... first ... and He is waiting for us to drink from the fruit He makes available and have our thirst satisfied so we can turn around and give it to others ... with great passion.

So ... squeeze.

And be blessed.
