Life is, for most of us, a series of peaks and valleys. We have times of great enthusiasm and spirit. But, we can also have times of no excitement, even times of depression. When we have times of great enthusiasm, we can stand on the mountaintop, even thinking we are at the top of life itself. However, we are not. When we are in the valley, and we are down, we can think God has abandoned us. However, God never leaves us. When we are on the mountaintop and believe we have the power, God gives us the mountain as He enables us to get to the top. When we are in the valley, God has not abandoned us, for we have either lost Him or abandoned Him. In both cases, we must remember our enthusiasm for life and its opportunities flow into us by how thankful we are for what we have. We must not forget to be grateful in times of plenty or in times of poverty. Our enthusiasm for life is not what we have or do not have. Our enthusiasm for life must remain rooted in the source of all blessings, Christ Jesus hanging from His Cross where He gave all of Himself for each of us.
