Even before giving my life to Christ,I have always felt I stood out.I just want to ask,did anyone else feel this way before coming to Christ?Or even after giving your life to Christ, do other people notice a difference or notice you are a Christian without telling them?

No I did not, but absolutely there are people who just glow with the Joy of Christ that is my goal. I stand out cuz I'm a silly bit of a goof and so excitable!

I have, but I don't think it was because I have this beam of light around me. I think it because the way I interact, maybe my mannerisms and demeanor show of someone that is a christian? Usually, its a comment of me being a very good listener with strangers, or my style is more conservative, but those are not inherently distinctive traits exclusive to Christians.

But I had friends who you would think there are the most Christ-like people, but their hearts, in the end, were far from God. It made me step back and think how much people have the appearance of good, but their spirit was not of Him. Appearances don't impress God and at the end God really knows your heart. So its more important to focus not from standing out just because your countenance seems good, but that truly the spirit you have is of God.
