Monotony can affect our passion.

Generally as human beings we look for something to be made much simpler, we wish in some way that a task or action is always the same since the new causes fear and uncertainty, it tests us anyway. If our walk with God has become monotonous, let's change right now!

While I am going, occupy yourself with reading, exhortation and teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Take care of these things; abide in them, so that your advantage may be manifest to all. 16 Take care of yourself and of doctrine; persist in it, for by doing this you will save yourself and those who hear you.

1 Timothy 4:13-16

Let's now imagine a very cold day, a winter day in the morning, we get up and if we have a fireplace with a fire at our disposal in which we can warm ourselves, we do not hesitate for a second and we feel attracted by this heat, In the same way those new believers or people who do not yet know God are attracted to those Christians who are passionate about the Lord, these are like that fireplace with a burning fire that attracts those who desire warmth.
The Lord Jesus Christ fervently desires that we be like a city set on the top of the mountain, he desires that we be light in the midst of darkness, illuminating all humanity with hope and the gospel of redemption.

14 You are the light of the world; A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do you light a light and put it under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Matthew 5:14-15

We have also seen that it is possible for our fire or our flame to cool little by little due to different factors. If this is what is happening, we must take the necessary steps to rekindle that flame and illuminate our surroundings again. First of all, we must be fully aware of the place and as we find ourselves in our lives, let us remember what our previous relationship with the Lord was like, let us recognize if we have distanced ourselves from God. Let us ask God in prayer to speak to us, he will do this through reading his word and let us dedicate time daily to pray and read his word, in this way we will know him much more and better. Let us ask God for His Holy Spirit to help us focus on the person of Jesus.
The apostle Paul was very clear in leaving instructions to Timothy on how to please God, then he added in his recommendation that he should give himself fully to everything that involves the things of God.
In this way we understand that we have to fill our minds and our hearts with the word of God, this transforms our minds, this fills us with enthusiasm and passion, faith will be common currency in our lives and the fervor that we express will bring other believers to experience the same as us, we will be blessed and we will bless others.
