An excellent spirit is within me, I take it wherever I go. It is the Holy Spirit given to me by God to grow His kingdom, love His people and bring Him to the world. Someone carries Him to me, in my case, my grandmother, and then I carry Him to others.
It is good to remember this in all things. The fact is, I leave a little bit of me wherever I go, with whomever I meet. It should be the part that speaks of God and His saving grace.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

One afternoon my sister and I went to lunch in Philadelphia. I had just had an eye exam after an accident and was feeling rather fragile. In front of the restaurant was a table of happy people making paper flowers. They called to us as we approached, “Here! Choose a flower pin for yourself! They’re free!” They were all so pretty. I finally chose an orange one, she chose blue. A simple paper flower. I wore mine on my shirt for the rest of the day and felt blessed and special. Imagine wearing the Spirit I carry out into the world like a beautiful flower on my shirt! How beautiful it is to bring glad tidings of good things!
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Daniel 6:3
