I really want to be a person that shares my faith "as I go" (see Matthew 28:19--making disciples as we go). I want to be the person who has such a vital relationship with Christ that sharing the gospel is as natural as breathing, because it comes from an overflow of my genuine, daily relationship with Him. I also want to get to the point that I see people either as someone who knows the Lord, or someone who might not/does not (instead of seeing them as, "the cashier at Target" or the neighbor 2 doors down who pulls into the garage and shuts the door before even getting out of his truck. I think it's weird, instead of thinking he must be lonely and needs us to reach out to him. I don't know. All I know is that I do not share my faith as regularly as I would like because I am afraid of rejection, pure and simple. If I could remember how much it grieves God when I shut my mouth in a time of obvious opportunity, then maybe that rejection might seem so insignificant compared to the joy I miss out on when telling someone about knowing the God of the universe in a personal way.K-Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502198865205984895noreply@blogger.com
