Daily Devotion:
"The Miracle Worker"
John 6:2
New Living Translation
2 A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick.
When you are joyful, people are naturally drawn to you. Maybe you're that joyful person to whom others gravitate. They might not even realize exactly why they're so drawn to you; often, the joy inside a believer is extremely attractive to people.
Sometimes the fact that people want to be near you can feel more like a nuisance than a blessing. Especially if you're naturally reserved, it can be exhausting when others constantly come to you for advice, companionship, or even just casual conversation. The key is to remember that what you have is beyond priceless. If you could bottle the joy in your heart, they'd pay an absurd price for it. People are desperate for genuine joy. As much as you're able, share it with them.
