CONTAGIOUS!

I love being around people who laugh from their belly. A great, big, hearty laugh that seems to come right up from their toes and spills out for everyone to enjoy. I love positive people; people who can always find something good in even a bad situation. I love excited, exuberant people! They're contagious to be around. Once you've come in contact with someone like that, their laughter, their outlook, their disposition quickly can become your own. They're contagious. They're people I want to be like. I want what they have. I want to 'catch' it.

I want to be a contagious Christian! I want to be so excited about what the Lord has done in my life and is doing in my life that it bubbles up inside of me and spills out. I want people to see that I love God and that He is the most important person in my life. I want to show the joy of the Lord to everyone around me. I want  to make others want what I have.

When you have a contagious personality people want to be around you and they are drawn to you. They suddenly find themselves wishing they had what you have. That's the kind of Christian I believe God wants us to be. In His Word He tells us to "go and make disciples..." (Matthew 28:19). Its much easier to make disciples when those disciples want to be around you. They'll be drawn to you if you have something they want.

So be exuberant! Be excited! Be on fire for the Lord! And watch that fire spread like wild fire for Him!!

God bless!
