Never stop and look back once you've started running. God blesses our best. No matter how weak of body and weary of mind, we must avoid being thrown off stride. We must strive to finish the race. Finally, we need enthusiasm.
Nothing is accomplished in the world without it.
Enthusiasm, if given an inch, can take a universe. Jesus came to bring abundant life and there is nothing more thrilling that watching a person be liberated from a life chained down by sin and death in its many forms. The body of Christ will always have a certain bounce to it. As long as we keep our eyes on the prize- an eternity with the author of life and a huge crowd of people whom Jesus loves, who are our friends.
