Don't-cha just hate those types? Always smiling...even when no one is looking. Always interested in what you have to say. Always interested in kids. Animals always like these people. Always open to new ideas. Always have great questions.
It's like they are coated with an invisible magical blanket of super positive energy. And you know instantly: they are - go ahead, say it - Jesus Freaks, Born-Agains, Believers. Pick a decade, there's a name for 'em from each generation. They are so darn positive, so bubbly, always so dang happy, glass always half full.
Did you know they didn't intentionally try to make their personalities like that? There are certain things that just happen - gifts that are given - as a result of belief. ...blessings we call them.
This magical blanket of joy is a gift to believers who follow godly paths on the inside:
"You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness" (read: I know what is in your heart your insides, your guts, your motives; and it's not easy to seek righteousness and hate wickedness- but you are doing it, and in a world of great temptation to do otherwise)
"Therefore God, YOUR God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of JOY" (read: That's why we notice them so much. They are set in a place for all around them to notice their joy - that's why they stand out.
It's mystical life energy, it's mysterious karma, the realm of the universe...No. Too simple: it is God breathing praise into, onto, and over those who follow Him on the inside. :-)
