Colossians 3:23-24 New English Translation (NET Bible)23 Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people, 24 because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ.  Passion

 

 

There is a purpose to this life … but is that than my passion?

Is there within a constant strife that I mold and make my fashion?

 

Do I accept this way of life as is it molding me to my pretension

and the only one to know is my wife who pays some attention?

 

She reminds me of the fact and shows me just "God" to mention.

I don't give her much flack as she pulls me out of dissatisfaction.

 

It is easy to blame others … to hide shortcomings from self.

To address vaguely as kind behavior … hidden smiles show themselves.

 

Patient and calm in control … justifying judgments I make,

Knowing this will drain my soul making the life I live simply fake.

 

So to build on intentions and to image that goal to my desires,

is mostly for my own good … while others around me get "fired".

 

The fire that hurts all who know me … is the fire of my wants.

I wonder how the ones, who love me, endure walking holding hands

 

Pulling and tugging the direction … with every step that I take

Giving me credit for things … showing that love is no fake.

 

The Author of Love Who directs the hearts of those who love me

Is the One Who patiently endures the fumbling and stumbling in me.

 

Does He mold me and make me after His will or my drive so prone,

to fight all the way so that my passion … uses purpose as a clone?
