Be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. -1 Corinthians 15:58(NLT)
WORK ENTHUSIASTICALLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you have the Lord living in your heart
It will manifest in your entire life
You will be strong and have stability
You also love and work enthusiastically.
When you do things for others as you do for the Lord
You are actually giving him praise, glory and laud
Don’t lose hope in serving him for nothing is useless
You will always reap fruits if you totally believe in Jesus.

There are some whiny and miserable Christians. I used to be one of them. I thank God that he has delivered me from that very negative attitude. I think one of the reasons when I was that way was because I had been mistreated so many times in my life. It became a defense mechanism so that I can protect myself from possible abusers or manipulators. When I lived in poverty in my twenties, God showed me how to be thankful and bring joy to everything I do. Ephesians 6:7 says that we must work with enthusiasm, as though we were working for the Lord rather than for people. Nothing will be useless if we are serving the Lord because he is a promise keeper and he rewards us if we are faithful to serve him.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to rejoice at whatever I am given in my life.
REFLECTION
What can enthusiasm bring about in your life?
