We are created for purpose. Intrinsically we all have desires of accomplishing something far beyond our natural capacity. It boils down to a simple fact: We all want to do something significant.

In order to do something seemingly impossible, we need to possess a passion which will push us each day.
My passion comes in the form of Paulie from Rocky who sits on my shoulder like Jiminy Cricket. Com’ on! You got this. Hang in ‘ther! And I, like Rocky, sometimes feel like, Yo’ Paulie, I want to do ‘dis, but I’m gettin‘ hit on both sides by the Russian.

But we have a fight to fight and we can’t be quitters! We must accomplish what God has called us to do. In loneliness of singlehood, in trials of marriage, in despair of sickness, in hopeless poverty, we stand and fight. Why? Because we aren’t quitters. God has put passionate desires in our hearts for a reason. If your passions are in alignment with God’s will for you life, is there anything too big for Him to handle?
Come hell or high water, loss of home or loved one, failure in job or ill-gained success, we can’t stop from guilt or regret, fear or failure. When your face is on the ring floor, you’re beaten up and bruised, and you feel like you want to quit, remember that Paulie is in your corner shouting, Com’ on! You got this. Hang in ‘ther!
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT (1 Timothy 6:12) What’s your fight? What are your dreams? Who is your Paulie?
