The Fire of Your Heart
2008-04-27 04:03:00
Want to know God’s will for your life? Then answer this question: What ignites your heart? Forgotten orphans? Untouched nations? The inner city? The outer limits? Heed the fire within! Do you have a passion to sing? Then Sing! Are you stirred to manage? Then manage! Do you ache for the ill? Then treat them! Do you hurt for the lost? Then teach them! As a young boy I had the desire to drive a “Big” truck. I was going to get me one of those tractor-trailers, then along with my Mom I was going to go and pick up my Aunt Becky and hit the open roads. As I got older I realized that wasn’t the Fire within my heart. I am not so sure that I have found it. I know that I absolutely love Real Estate here in the North Georgia Mountains. I really enjoy meeting new people and helping them with one of if not the most important investment they could make….buying a home. What is the fire that consumes you?
