I don’t mean that I’m getting fat or that I’m getting buff. I’m not even talking about my personal, physical body. Sunday night I went with a big group of friends to an event called “FUSION.” It is an event we go to monthly, and its getting bigger. This week was particularly exciting to me because I just felt like I was part of something that was so much bigger than me. Its always fun to meet new people, but it is really fun when you meet people and you say to yourself, “This person can contribute to my life.” You know, when you just meet someone and you instantly want to know more about them. Now, granted, we were in this party-like environment where everyone is excited and having fun and everything is going right so it is so easy to be “friendly.” So it makes sense that I had all these feelings of “Wow! These people are so cool!” But recently I started thinking about the times when things were not going so great, when I wasn’t at a party and no one was having fun. Are there people out there that I brushed off or even ticked off who could have contributed something to my life? Are there people I could have contributed to, but didn’t because I was in a hurry or I was being snobby or I just didn’t feel very nice that day? The point is, each day I have a choice of how I will react to people. Every day I make contact with someone new. The challenge is to stay in that attitude of looking for new people to become a part of who I am. The Truth is, everyone can contribute to me and I contribute to everyone else. My body IS getting bigger. The challenge is to take advantage of it. Check it out for yourself: I Corinthians 12:14-26
