My Passion

William Booth once had an audience with King Edward VII of England. His Majesty highly commended the salvationist for his unflagging zeal and wonderful work among the poor. How revealing was Booth's reply to the King's glowing words! He said, "Your Majesty, some men's passion is for art. Some men's passion is for fame. My passion is for souls."

What am I passionate about? Gardening, sewing, housekeeping, music, good food, socializing, art, cars? What about the lost who are bound for hell? Are you moved at all when you consider their plight? Our God was. Just look at the life, death and resurrection so that sinners could be saved.
