Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Be a good example to others and drink it daily!
The story is told of a young boy who approached an evangelist after a revival meeting one night. “Excuse me, sir?” the little boy said politely. “You said everyone should ask Jesus into their hearts, right?”
“That’s right, son.” The minister squatted down so he could look the boy in the eye. “Did you ask him in?”
“Well, I’d like to,” the boy said, “but I got to figurin’…I’m so little and Jesus is so big---he’s just gonna stick out all over!”
“That’s the point, son,” the man said with a smile, “that’s the point.”
Does Jesus “stick out all over” in your life? Do others see Him when they look at you? It should be our heart’s desire to be so much like Jesus that people have no doubt that we’re a Christian!
Romans 8:29 teaches us that it’s God’s plan for us to be like Jesus....“to be conformed to the likeness of his Son.” Are you willing to allow Him to have complete control of your life? Ask God for the boldness to take a stand for Him…to reflect Jesus with your words, your actions, your attitude. When you make that decision, you will be setting a good example for all those around you and will be pouring out the JOY of the Lord onto their lives…and that JOY will bounce right back to you!
Let's strive to set an example by drinking our Joy Juice of Jesus faithfully and allowing His JOY to “stick out all over” in every area of our life!
