Nearly all people stand in great horror of annihilation, and yet to give up your individuality is to annihilate yourself.

Passion is the heart set free to pursue that which is truly worthy. Those who set their hearts on that which is most worthy live with joy-filled abandonment. Their hearts are both seized and satisfied with ambition only for Jesus to be ardently worshipped. That love comes to dominate and integrate all other desires so as to live in the freedom of single-minded purpose. ↗
