How is your enthusiasm level? Have you let your face know that you are filled up with the joy of the Lord? We are talking this week about celebrations, large and small, and one thing about celebrations is that you can’t hardly have a party without a smile. I think that it does come naturally for some people to live with enthusiasm. You probably can think of someone right now that is bubbly and lights up the room with their presence. Even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, it is no excuse if you are a Christian! We are supposed to be shining our light. Lights do attract attention. Just turn your porch light on in July on a hot summer night! Here come the bugs! We use lights to bring attention during performances, and the Bible does tell us to let our light shine, so that others can see our good works and glorify God. So I’ll ask the question again….how is your enthusiasm level? Is life a drag or dynamite? Is it boring, or beautiful? Is it average, or above and beyond all you could ever ask or think? I hope the life you are experiencing is wonderful! Once we are Christians, our light gets to shine on those around us, and help to draw them to the Light of the World, Jesus himself. God sent Jesus to give us life abundantly… that is life overflowing… with all that He is in us, and He has for us. Let’s get excited about living and excited about shining our light!
