Bible Verses About Following Your Passion

Today I want to talk to you about something. You know, we all have dreams and hopes. But we need to think about what to do with these dreams.

Look, the Bible says that we should put God at the center of our lives. This does not mean that we should give up our own desires. Rather, we should align our dreams with God’s will.

Let me tell you a story. I had a friend who could sing very well. But his parents wanted him to be a doctor. He was very sad. Then one day he prayed and realized that with his singing talent he could bring peace to people’s hearts. Now he sings in church and makes patients happy by singing in hospitals.

Similarly, we also need to find harmony between our dreams and God’s will. Remember, God loves you and wants you to be happy. But at the same time, he wants you to serve others.

So, what do you do? First, pray. Ask God, “Lord, is this dream of mine in line with your will?” Then read the Bible, you will gain a lot of knowledge from it. And yes, talk to your family or friends too. They may be able to give you good advice.

Remember, in life, you can’t just think about yourself. You also have to pay attention to family, work, society – all these. But don’t worry, you can still fulfill your dreams. Suppose, if you want to be a teacher, then in addition to teaching in the classroom, you can also teach poor children for free. In this way, your dream will also be fulfilled, and society will also benefit.

Yes, there will be obstacles on the way. Then don’t give up. Remember, God is with you. He will give you strength.

The last thing is, your dreams should not be just for yourself. Think, how you can help others by fulfilling this dream. Only then will you see how much joy you get in life.

So what do you say? From now on, will you look at your dreams with new eyes? Remember, God is with you. He will show you the way. Just trust in Him and move forward. God bless you.
