Enthusiasm is great for football games and March madness. But sometimes for those who do not understand what you believe, the conversation needs to come with a calm and gentle approach.

But regardless, always be prepared.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Always be prepared!

And that’s the focus for today. When you are given the opportunity to share the gospel and what you believe, it’s important you know the direction you are wanting to come from.

Let me give you an example. Many people come up to me and say if I could bottle up my energy and how I lead my life, I would be a billionaire.

The first couple of times this happened, I giggled inside. But then it kept happening all the time. Obviously, this was something out of the norm that people noticed.

So I began to think about what my comeback should be if approached and given the opportunity.

As you know, the opportunities have continued in my life. With laughter in my voice, I tell them that time was on sale at Walmart, but I bought them out. However, my energy comes from God. Somehow He gives me what I need exactly when I need it. And regardless of the situation, I know there is a joy to be had but I must always seek it.

The joy I have doesn’t come from what I do or who I am. The joy comes from whose I am.

Now, this changes to fit the conversation at hand.

Yet as you can tell, always be prepared.

Just like we follow a recipe for a dinner entree, you and I need to be ready to share about who has changed our lives.

So what is your recipe for sharing your love for Jesus Christ?

As we draw closer to Easter Sunday, if you were in the town greeting Jesus on the donkey with palms, what story would you share with those around you?

Think of it as a modern-day parade. How would you tell someone how Jesus has changed your life?

During this season of your life, think about how God has changed you and placed you in a position of joy and hope regardless of your circumstances.

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
