Enthusiasm!

So, I just got home from my "first" day of school. It's almost seven o' clock, and I am wiped out! I looked at my post "Oh God, Give Me The Heart Of A Child!" for a little encouragement. I clicked on what I labeled "Enthusiasm," and I couldn't stop smiling. I needed more of what this little girl had. I looked up the definition for enthusiasm, and here is what I found...

1) great excitement for or interest in a subject or cause.

2) an occupation, activity, or pursuit in which such interest is shown.

3) absorbing or controlling possession of the mind by any interest or pursuit.

4) lively interest.

I began to think. What if I lived my life like this little girl recites "Psalm 23?" What if my eyes always sparkled? What if I always smiled? What if my speech was always full of grace? What if I was enthusiastic about each task that was given to me? What if I worked with all of my heart for the Lord and not for men? I realized that theses questions didn't have to be "What if's?" and that God has given me everything I need for life and godliness. Truly what He calls us to, He will enable us to do! Thank You Jesus!
