ARE YOU ON FIRE?
God’s people should be the happiest people on earth! So happy, in fact, that other people notice. Living your best life now is living with enthusiasm and being excited about the life God has given you. It is believing for more good things in the days ahead, but it is also living in the moment and enjoying it to the hilt!
One of the main reasons we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we start to take for granted what God has done for us as well as His greatest gift of all to us—Himself! Don’t allow your relationship with Him to become stale or your appreciation for His goodness to become common. Our lives need to be inspired, infused, filled afresh with His goodness every day.
Make a decision that you are not going to live another day without the joy of the Lord in your life; without love, peace, and passion; without being excited about your life. And understand that you don’t have to have something extraordinary happening in your life to be excited. You may not have the perfect job or the perfect marriage, but you can still choose to live each day aglow with God’s presence.
Quiet your heart and receive God’s Word: “Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11 AMP).
DON’T JUST GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS IN LIFE. HAVE SOME ENTHUSIASM.
If you want to see God’s favor, do everything with your whole heart. Do it with passion and some fire. Not only will you feel better, but that fire will spread, and soon other people will want what you have. Wherever you are in life, make the most of it and be the best you can be. God will take you places you’ve never dreamed of, and you will be having your best life now.
