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

The world needs less heat and more light. It needs less of the heat of anger, revenge, retaliation, and more of the light of ideas, faith, courage, aspiration, joy, love, and hope. Wilfred Peterson

Meaning of hopeless feeling or causing despair about something.

We located 30 verses that speak to the word hopeless. 

I woke up this morning with sadness in my soul... My thoughts and my prayers go to the innocent lives that through no fault of their own are caught up in the evil snare of war...! Greed, power, and no regard for life... War... is an ugly word. 

It will never be viewed as necessary by my Creator... it’s man-made and dark... 

As I sit like many in the comfort of my home and watch this war unfold... It breaks my heart to see homes and lives being destroyed ...  How can we find hope in a hopeless situation??  

We can pray. We can ask, we can beg “Father take this cup from me”... Historically we know that things do not always turn out the way we think they should... But why????

I can only cling to the hope that my Heavenly Father gives me. He sees everything from the glandular to the bigger than our human mind can understand. We are all part of His masterful plan... A great plan with a beautiful promise that supersedes the life we have grown to know... 

You may say, it is easy for me to say look past your present situation and look to a beautiful new future. I am not in the fearful trenches; I do not have my scared children clinging to me for comfort. I like you, wish I had the answers… I wish I could change our world. But I do not have that kind of power… But I know someone who does… 

I can only send my heartfelt prayers and ask my Heavenly Father to go to you in these difficult times ... I pray He protects you and shares love with you so strong that you feel hope for a brighter tomorrow... 

I send love from my heart to yours ... 

I can only pray the hopelessness you may feel flips into a new hope!!! 

Hope in Him!! Cling to your Heavenly Father for comfort...

It’s Him!!  He is our greater HOPE... Find Him ... Love Him... He is the light that will guide us home... He rules with love, compassion, and kindness... He is the one to follow… Yes, He wows me… 

P.S.  Father please shake the evil darkness from our world. Bring them to their knees before you... 

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every a knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.  Romans 14:11 

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:6, 12-14 KJV
