passion and destiny

Great read called "David - A man of Passion and Destiny" (Swindoll)

My man King David tried to live life with "nothing to prove and nothing to lose."

Man, how do you do that in this day and age? I think that resonates with anyone who reads that, but when you're doing missions or in ministry, you're constantly trying to prove yourself to others. In this case, you want to prove yourself to supporters.

People want to see winners. They want to see a ministry succeed, to hear the incredible stories and the visible change that has taken place. They want their support to be meaningful. I don't blame anyone for any of those because I feel the same way.

That's reality.

I think it's a death trap, trying to prove yourself because if that desire consumes us we will never be able to focus on doing the things we were meant to do.

That's one of my goals and passions, to live life with nothing to prove and nothing to lose.
