You know, when they say people carry the presence of God, i was quite uncertain about it. I thought that what it meant to carry the presence, was to have people manifest around you when you walk past them, or flowers growing on every single step you take, or people being healed from their sickness instantly etc.

It was only after I entered uni that i realised. To carry the presence of God wasnt just all that dramatic events that would happen, but the fact that we become people who are attractive. Not attractive in the wrong sense, but attracting people from everywhere, because they feel that we have that something that makes them want to be around us.

I have personally met these few people. And even me being a Christian, was being attracted to these people as well! It wasn't because they were bubbly or had outgoing characters, but they had the unexplainable presence of God that was with them wherever they went. It made me think, do i attract people in that sense too?

Now i finally understand the meaning of being the salt and light of the world. It isn't just being good testimonies, or being loving and all, because everyone else can do that when they force themselves to do so. It is about God's unexplainable and yet tangible presence being with us, that emerges us so much so that we overflow with His love and His joy and His strength that we can pour out to the people around us as well. And that's how they always want to come.

When our hearts are right with God, seeing the things He sees, and loving people as He loves, we will begin to notice how we turn into that salt and the light that this world needs.
