The Waterfall of Passion
Our Blind Spot is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting…
“And the Light came into the world.” (John 3:19)
Was I blind to this too?
The emotions abound– flooding my soul. I lived out of an emotional tidal wave. Somewhere along the way, this became my way of life. I thrived on the emotional ebb and flow– Thus, the seeking of others the attention from my highs and lows. Living in a chaotic state, I learned to thrive from this passionate world of feelings.
Then one day I found religion. I didn’t say faith, I said religion. I found a way of life. Working and striving to live out of a self-seeking approval of the Almighty. To no surprise, the day came when I grew weary of this life–too. No passion, no heart in this so-called place of ??– what was all the hype?
What next?
One day someone asked me –“Where is your passion?”
I froze.
I could not answer the question. The true passion that brings stinging tears to my eyes causing me to weep waterfalls of sadness or joy as I drop to my knees.
I was blind to the world around me, I had become (or always had been) self-centered, self-indulgent and lived in my self-pity. A blind spot to my Heavenly Father, for how could Someone love someone like me? Someone with no faith, but only the religiosity of myself.
So I ran from God… I just didn’t get it.
And in the shattered moments where the darkness collides with the shady and sinister rearview images, the only scene left is that in which lies ahead…
Faith is all I have left… I have been stripped of the marred, scarred and obliteration of my tightly bound heart so that now I may be liberated to a new passion and new delight, hence now I bask in the Light—no longer blind to the truth!
For I have found my Abba in the waterfalls of passion.
