A strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.

pur·pose [pur-puhs]
–noun
That which a person sets before himself as an object to be reached or accomplished.

Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody. 1 Timothy 4:14-15
