What Are You Passionate About? Anna M. Caison
Members of the Lansing Junior Woman’s Club helped with registration and distributing water at the LCPL Philip J Martini 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser.
I was recently asked, “What are you passionate about?” Given the gathering I was in, the question was unexpected and caught me by surprise. So I shared an old desire (recently re-kindled) for ministry to young moms. As I reflect on the answer I gave that evening, I wonder if my desired ministry reflects what I’m really passionate about. What am I passionate about? I have a passionate desire that every Christian comes into an experiential knowledge of Christ. I long for every believer who names the name of Jesus as their Savior and Lord to experience a personal relationship with Him. I yearn for every child of God to know Him beyond the stories they read in the Bible of Him (as a healer, provider, deliverer, comforter, etc.), to knowing Him as such in their own life. We, the visible church, have become so institutionalized that Christ is often viewed as living in heaven, far removed from the affairs of the church and the culture we live in. But the Lord is not far removed from us or the culture we live in. He is still the head of His church and He is alive and relevant to our modern day struggles and crisis. Through the Holy Spirit we can

experience His presence. We can know His love for us. We can receive healing, direction and peace. No matter what life throws at us we can receive His power to live an overcoming life of victory. Does my desire to provide ministry to single young mothers line up with what I’m passionate about? Yes! I’ve met so many young mothers who gave up their life, their dreams, scholarships and other opportunities for what they thought was true love only to end up raising a child alone. They become hopeless, some end up homeless and/or being abused by their partners. Giving these mothers the opportunity to learn of Jesus’ love for them and to experience His love and forgiveness through His people is what’s needed to turn their life around. If they would take hold of Him and begin to see themselves through His eyes they too will experience His power that will enable them to make better life choices for themselves and their babies, breaking the cycle of abuse and hopelessness in the next generation.
