passion and potential

From this week's 850 Words of Relevant, written by Marc Estes:
One of the greatest sins we commit against God is not reaching the potential He has placed in us. Every person has been chosen for a purpose and a measure of passion. How you direct your passion in everyday life will greatly determine whether you are successful in fulfilling your purpose. Like a sharp knife in your kitchen drawer, passion can be extremely helpful or extremely harmful. It must be carefully directed and used for its intended purpose. Make it your aim today to calibrate your passions with your purpose. In doing so, you will see God do great things with your life and your future.
