Losing Passion

It feels good to be back after six long months of not writing and being in a season where I felt my passion was lost. It's scary when you know you love to do something but do not have the desire to do it. It makes you feel like you will lose it forever. It makes you wonder when will the desire to do it again come back. I wondered what felt like forever but God revealed to me that my passion was never lost. It actually makes sense when you think about it because why would something I have a joy and excitement to do suddenly leave me? The word passion means an intense often uncontrollable emotion, deep devotion, or fervent enthusiasm for a person, activity, or concept. I came to the conclusion that the only reason I felt my passion for writing was lost is because I simply stopped.

"It actually makes sense when you think about it because why would something I have a joy and excitement to do suddenly leave me?"

The moment I started back writing I suddenly felt that same joy and that's when I knew God was right. It's the same concept as "if you don't use it you lose it." My passion for writing was gone because I was no longer exercising that muscle. Just like we can regain our ability when we begin to exercise the same is true for our passion being restored.
