Enthusiasm is a wonderful gift but the type that doesn't have deep roots
can, when the trials of life seem overpowering, quickly fizzle out.
There's another kind of enthusiasm that can survive the deepest trials of life and motivate great souls to soar above the winds of adversity to achieve noble and worthwhile goals.
The word "enthusiasm" itself comes from "en-theos." "En" meaning "in" and "theos" meaning God. The word literally means "in God" or "inspired of God."
Thus true enthusiasm is that which has its roots not in human inspiration but in God. This enthusiasm is available to all who genuinely want it when they seek God and His will for their life with all their heart.

Dear God

to be so committed
to you
that I will find
'the great
enthusiasm of life'
that has its roots
in you.
Thank you for
hearing and answering my prayer.
