Spend time with your children and watch them. This will give you the information you need to steer them towards their passion and away from trouble.
Passion is a person’s inner desire. Psalm 37 tells us not to fret. This advice tells us not to be nervous about what others do or think, rather trust in God, delight in Him, commit everything we do to Him, to that which is good be honest and walk in integrity, Then he will give us the desires of our hearts.
What is passion? What are desires? They are those good and righteous things that we are enthused about, the good things that bring excitement to our hearts, the good things that excite our minds, our hearts, our tongues, and our actions. Your passion is the thing that you would be content doing on any day, at any time of day. A child’s passion, and ours as well, causes an outburst of joy within us. Passion is following your heart. In other words our desires and our passion are in fact one in the same.
