ARE YOU CONTAGIOUS?

The definition of "purity": n 1: being undiluted or unmixed with extraneous material [syn: pureness] [ant: impurity] 2: the state of being free from sin or moral wrong; lacking a knowledge of evil [syn: sinlessness, innocence] 3: a woman's virtue or chastity [syn: honor, honour]

Purity. What a word! What does this word mean to you? To me? I found the definition quite interesting. "Being undiluted or unmixed". The world wants to dilute you and me. The world is out to mix up the definition. Purity in it's truest since is something we should all desire. I think we, Christian and non-Christian alike, all do secretly whether we admit it or not. Think about this: You wouldn't want a drink from a bottle of water that someone spit in or to eat an orange that someone peeled, chewed on. I think God desires pure people. He wants undiluted Christians. Unmixed with the ways of the world. He wants us to seek purity in all areas of our lives. He wants us to be exactly what He designed us to be, not a diluted or partial version. I want to be completely undiluted and unmixed!! I want to be pure like a little child.

My thought today is this. When you are sick, sometimes you have a fever, right? Most times that means you are contagious. You have symptoms that clue those around you as to what you may have. Well, my question is: "Are you contagious?" Are people catching "what you have"? Every follower of Christ should have a raging fever that is so contagious that it only requires walking past us to catch our fever. I have to admit, I am certainly not as contagious as I'd like to be, but I am working on it. I ask again, ARE YOU CONTAGIOUS?

Jesus, my Precious Jesus, I desire nothing less than You. I want to be so contagious that people cannot even be in the room without "catching" what I have (YOU!). Lord, help me to live a life of purity in Your definition. Let me not settle for anything less. Father, may I bring You Glory in everything I do and not let You down! Give me boldness, patience, discernment, and wisdom. Let me infect the world in Jesus' name! I love You Jesus!
