Craziness is what makes the world round, without crazy, there wouldn't be passion.” – Wes Campton

Meaning of crazy: mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way. Or extremely enthusiastic.

There are actually approximately  25 verses that reference the word crazy in the Bible… 

I believe there is such a stigma with this word… 

I question what is acceptable in society … When I look around I see behavior that is not the norm? It is not the kind of behavior that I think is rational.  It is not how “normal” people should behave.   But who made the rules of what is acceptable?  

When we try to understand extreme enthusiasm it can look a little crazy to people who do not have a passion for the subject matter… 

For instance, many show this enthusiasm and passion for sports. entertainers? shopping? The list goes on… 

But when we show this passion for God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit many will label us as crazy, or a Jesus Freak some will avoid you at all costs… sometimes it’s even the lukewarm believers that will avoid you.

This enthusiasm can sometimes be a lonely road but it can be a beautiful spiritual experience.   It’s not of this world… it’s beyond our human comprehension. 

God will take you on the most fantastic journey if you open your heart… and trust Him. We must not be timid or afraid to embrace His love. The mission if you accept it, is to show the world who He is… 

My question is …What are you passionate about? What excites you? What is your goal? What does this excitement give you in return? Is it a fleeting moment of happiness? What is the payout and how does it help you??  Does that sports team, player or entertainer even know your name??? Did you know that God knows you so well He knows the number of hairs on your head… He knows you intimately from the beginning to the end… He held you even before you were born… He breathed life into your very soul…He has forgiven you for all your mistakes… He is committed to loving you beyond this world !!! 

For eternity!!! (there is no expiration date)

We must put value in our life our future and our love… 

However, when your name is called … I am positive it will NOT be called by the one you are chasing unless His name is Elohim… 

Passion, Enthusiasm, and Crazy come in all shapes and sizes…. Stop, and give it some serious thought.... where do you spend your time and energy?  What is the return? Does it have life-impacting results?

When you leave this world...Will you leave a box of memorabilia? Or will you leave a legacy of life and love… 

Be crazy…. be enthusiastic… be excited … because.....

He is scheduled to return soon … 

It’s Him, it’s always Him!   

It is a crazy love... I am not completely sure how or why He loves us so deeply... But I am excited about discovering more each and every God-given day ... 

Call me crazy… Call me passionate, Call me excited!!  

I SAY I WE ARE #BLESSED

2 Corinthians 5:13

So if we were crazy, it was for God; if we are sane, it is for you.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
