But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
With the recent scare of outbreak of Ebola, which made many go to a panic mode, we know how bacteria can spread and get into people. You can feel perfectly good one day and a few days go by and if you were exposed to something you may start exhibiting symptoms.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we followers of Jesus Christ could be like that for the cause of Christ? Instead of hiding our "Sunday go to meeting" light under a basket all week long and hoarding the joy of the Lord all to ourselves to make us feel good, we would go out and righteously "infect" people with the joy of the Lord. The love of Jesus would ooze from us and we would spread his kindness, hope, and grace everywhere we went in life. No doctor would be needed because no cure would be necessary.
Find a way to show the love of God today either in a note or word of encouragement, forgiving someone you have hurt, being kind when you don't feel like it, or perhaps seeking peace when you would rather argue. Try it and you will be showing Christ to other's.
PRAYER: Make me an instrument for your kingdom Lord. I choose to not hide the light you have placed inside of me and show your love to others even when I do not feel like it. In Jesus' name.Amen.
