Are you stuck in a rut and feel the need to rekindle the flame of service and passion for your work?

Therefore, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timothy 1:6

Have you ever lost your enthusiasm for service at some point in your life? We are emotional beings and therefore fluctuate. There are times in our lives when we are highly motivated and enthusiastic, and there are also times when we lose enthusiasm for certain things, such as serving. Today, the apostle Paul gives us an example and tells Timothy: rekindle the gift of God that is in you. Now the question is: how do we do it?
We can think of ourselves as a kind of battery. We need to be recharged, and serving God and humanity is exciting when we are driven or motivated by God's Holy Spirit. There are times when we lose momentum, but the Holy Spirit can fill our hearts. I wish you well. And renew our strength like a great battery recharge. Let us always remember to stay connected to God through His word and surrounded by brothers and sisters who motivate us to serve. God works through His word and also through those around us.
Another very important recommendation to revive God's gift within us is to stay focused. If there's anything that diminishes our calling, it's when we lose focus or focus our vision on things that don't contribute to us and help us develop. If we focus our gaze on obstacles and problems, our attention remains that way, and this becomes greater and grows. But if we fix our eyes on Christ, it is He who becomes greater, and our hope becomes unshakeable.

44 You are of your father the devil, and you desire to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own heart; for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:44

We must be attentive to the voice that whispers to us. Many times the enemy takes advantage of our discouragement and tells us, "No one appreciates you, you can't do it." We need to identify and recognize that voice, and it speaks to us, or those thoughts that come as discouragement. We must repel this with the promises of God. As we saw in the previous point, you must shift your attention from what you cannot do or from your limitations and focus fully on what you can do and what God has promised to do with us and through us.
These are practical steps for us to apply in our lives the advice that Paul gave to Timothy, after paying attention to applying this in our daily lives I am sure that the enthusiasm and fervor, as well as the commitment will begin to increase in our lives and even when the circumstances if they become similar or do not change we will adopt a completely different vision, the Holy Spirit guides our lives giving us the way out, the wisdom and the strength to continue in any situation, are you ready?
