On Finding Enthusiasm In Life

One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have wholehearted enthusiasm.
--Hannah Senesh

Life offers little if we sit passively in the midst of activity. Involvement is a prerequisite if we are to grow. For our lives' purposes we need enthusiasm; we need enthusiasm in order to greet the day expectantly. When we look toward the day with anticipation, we are open to all the possibilities for action.

We must respond to our possibilities if we are to mature emotionally and spiritually. Idly observing life from the sidelines guarantees no development beyond our present level. We begin to change once we start living up to our commitments.

For ourselves, spiritually, it means getting behind God's will and purpose for me. Believing in it and acting on it. This brings passion to my life and allows others to find hope in their lives as well.

Our Faith gives us something to believe in. We are no longer the people we were. So much more have we become! Each day's worth of following God's will carries us closer to fulfilling our purpose in life.
