Enthusiasm is a great power. Those with it can never be disheartened because it simplifies all difficulties. So true! To Subscribe to Thought for Today please visit www.thoughtfortoday.org.uk I get a few quotes online each day. This is a relatively new one I get. I learned about it from my friend who is very involved in peacemaking.

My life verse, I stand on every day, is Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.
This verse had carried me through a lot of tough times-it contains the promise that no matter what, He will work it all out for my good AND that He has it all planned out--He's not surprised at events, even when I am! PTL!

I really appreciated this one, Smile..."enthusiasm" has been one of the things I've been trying to rediscover, pursue, nurture lately - along with living life abundantly. But I'm having great difficulty drumming up the enthusiasm to nurture the enthusiasm!
I remember my old camp counsellor days when the motto was "If you act enthusiastic, then you'll BE enthusiastic." Pretending worked back then, but isn't working for me now. But showing God inside...that sounds much more appealing and do-able.

Eagle, I had posted the previous post before I saw your's. I believe you are already "Infected." I can see it in your posts. You are obviously growing stronger and 'showing God's love inside' more every day.
Like you, I have sometimes had to search for enthusiam, but I know that because I am a child of God, it's always there inside me even when I don't feel it. We may wander away, but God never leaves us. And when we wander too far and are too weak to make our way back, God will find us if we just ask.
And I think it doesn't hurt to "act" enthusiastic while we're waiting. A smile, even a fake one, doesn't hurt either. smile

JJ: The prayer of Jabez has impacted my life profoundly!
