Do you know the joy of the Lord, are you living an abundant life? Do you find your peace in Jesus?  How is your walk with the Lord? Do you know Him intimately?

​

How do we obtain and sustain enthusiasm? Some people attend positive‑thinking seminars. They read inspirational biographies. They take pills to increase their energy level. But it's not long before that temporary high is gone and they are back in the doldrums.

​

The word, “enthusiasm” is a derivative of two Greek words: “en theos”—“in God.” And the more the Spirit of God is in us, the more enthusiastic we should be.

​

In John the fourth chapter, Jesus offered a life of enthusiasm to a jaded Samaritan woman. He called it “a spring of living water welling up to eternal life.”

​

In John 4, he has an encounter with an immoral Samaritan woman. The enthusiasm that he offered to this woman was not a shallow pep talk. It’s a permanent passion for living that transcends all circumstances.

​

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 
John 4:13-14
