Zeal is not a noun often tossed around nowadays; what, you've been called zealous lately? If one were asked "How are you?" they probably would not answer "very zealous, and you?" Defined by the dictionary zeal is;
"fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor;enthusiastic diligence; ardor."
No wonder we do not often hear of zealous people. How many beat with passion for their very existence? How often are we fervent, for anything? Do we have a single cause we would give our life for? A single reason to live? What is it that you eagerly desire, above all else? And why do you strive towards that desire above any other? What in your life is worth living for?

If you are inclined to make your secret devotions short, or are easily induced to neglect them; or if your thoughts, affections, and emotions wander, you may know that you are a backslider in heart, and your first business is to be broken down before God, and to see that your love and ZEAL are renewed. ~Charles Finney
