Christians..."John's" way

Just reading over Mary's and Jesus journey and I noticed a few things, again.

This time... less about Mary, Jesus, or Elizabeth. (It's always about Jesus if you catch my drift)

John, the baby in Elizabeths womb, lept when Mary and Jesus came to visit. Before he had his first breath, John was following Jesus. His life was about telling of the coming Jesus, and without shame. He never even saw the Messiah until he was well into his adulthood! That is faithful living! No shame in HIS fame! That's why I put Chrianity Johns way on my blog title. John is a good example of how we should proclaim Him, and guys, we know Jesus. Personally. Thats more than John could say for a long time, and he still would shout, "Prepare the way, the Messiah is coming! Prophesy is being fulfilled this moment! Come on guys! This is as real as it gets!" I can just imagine that sometimes he would be so crazy with passion that he would shout it in the streets. Ive never seen a person shout about Jesus on the streets (not at road corners with megaphones) with passion except in the "pulpit". Myself included.

Seriously, where our passion lies is where we focus. Yes, I do have passion for Jesus and spreading the gospel. But I am spiritually fat with passion. Thats so gross. I am a hoarder of knowledge, stocking up for my own satisfaction. It might even be better for me to never learn a new concept or verse in the Bible  and share everywhere what I know now. I know all I need to know, honestly I do. Death, victory over death, grace, mercy, love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, acceptance, holiness, grace grace grace.

Am I willing? Am I able? Am I chosen? Is this my calling? Is this The Way? Would sharing Him unconditionally be glorifying to God?
