SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD EVERYDAY!
over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 So,
my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” Even the smallest things matter whether we see any immediate results or not because it’s not what you do that makes it meaningful, but instead who you are doing it for. When you are on fire for Jesus and he is in your heart, it shows. Part of the reason we are enthusiastic about showing is the amount of time and effort we put into the projects. It is a part of our daily lives and as a result, becomes who we are. The same holds true with our relationship with the Lord. We need to spend time with Him every day. We need to pray daily. We need to worship daily. We need to thank Him daily. When we do these things, God empowers us with spiritual enthusiasm, our light shines brighter, and we are more mindful of His presence in our life. Whether its living for the Lord, or clapping for the kids, don’t be afraid to let your light shine with enthusiasm! ●

We can be like this when it comes to our love for God. We go through the motions, we follow the scripture, and we truly love God, but how do we show it? Do we sing praises? Do we tell everyone that will listen that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior? Do we reflect the gospel through our actions and worship? 1 Corinthians 15:56-58 teaches us, “56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory
