we're that person

Colossians 4

5 Live wisely among those who are not Christians,

     & make the most of every opportunity.

6 Let your conversation be gracious & effective so that you will have the right answer for everyone.


How many people are in your life who are not Christ followers?

I'm not talking about acquaintances - I'm talking about people you've built a relationship with.

And how many of them have you shared something of what your life is like connected to God.

Now, I'm not talking about being a "Bible banger" - someone who is always hitting people over the head with scriptures, condemning their lives.

What I'm talking about is just the simple sharing anyone would do about the core of themselves.

There's a LOT of reasons we can give for not doing this.

They're just excuses.

Our daughter, Hannah, who has LOTS of people around her who aren't Christ followers, often says that her job is to love people well. God takes care of the rest.

Pretty good thought,huh? (She takes after her mother ;-)


Think about this...

What if the person(s) who talked to you about connecting with God & who influenced each of us to be a Christ follower had been reluctant to do so?

We wouldn't be in a connection with God.


We're that person for a lot of people.
