His View with Kathy Priest

Are You Contagious?

Do people want what you have? Can people catch what you have? Do you bless or blast? If we are the only Bible some people will ever read then what are they reading in you? We were made by God to love Him and to love others. Finding a way to express that love is the question.

I have found if you listen to a person long enough you will hear a need. That’s the time to ask God, “How can I be a part of meeting this need?” People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care!

How can I be so full of Jesus that it spills all over on them? I John 3:16 says, “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

We want to share Christ in a practical manner. When you are at the grocery store you can let someone in line ahead of you. As you walk through a door at the bank you can hold open that door. You can smile and compliment someone for doing a good job. You can make such a difference in people’s lives by simply saying “now what would Jesus do and what would He say”?

Just like a moth is drawn to the light so it is when the world sees that there is something different about us and the way we treat people. Have you heard that what you are doing is speaking so loud I can’t hear what you are saying?

We need to show people that God loves them! When you are transparent the love of the Lord shines through and the Bible says, “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (Jn.13:35)

Remember, we live in a world with lost and hurting people. Be Jesus with skin on! Listen with compassion. Be His eyes, ears, hands, feet, and remember to brighten your face and smile! Yes! You are contagious!
