Share Christ... Me?

Last night I had the opportunity to begin a Bible study called Becoming a Contagious Christian. As I read through some of the questions, I began realizing how lazy I have been in the area of actively sharing Christ's love to those with whom I come in contact. 

What does it mean to be contagious? The definitions that I found were: carrying or spreading a contagious disease; tending to spread from person to person. I know that Christ's love and His abundant grace have saved me from a truly incomprehensible fate; however, I'm not sure that His love and grace have been flowing through me, infecting others. 

My prayer is, over the next few weeks of this Bible study, that I would begin to put to practice the things that I will be learning. I want to become contagious, and I want people to see that I am truly set apart; I want people to see that by God's grace, there's something different about me. I want Christ's love to be so apparent in me, that people cannot help but ask why I'm different, and I pray that in that moment, I am able to speak boldly about the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

"Take my life and let it be, consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love. Take my lips and let them be filled with messages for Thee; take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold."
