Being Aware

I found this video today and it really shows how important it is to be aware of the people around us. Like I talked about in my last post everyone is struggling with something. Also it is our job as believers to spread the gospel. However, it is not right to shove the Bible down someone's throat. We could witness all day long and never get through to anyone. The only way we can lead people to Christ is by God softening their hearts and allowing the moment to become divine. Furthermore, each encounter we have with people is designed to be divine. God places us in every situation for a reason, not always to witness but to have an impact. Sometimes we are called to talk about the good news but other times were are meant to show it. Francis of Assisi once said, "Preach the Gospel at all time and when necessary use words." Our life is what needs to reflect the gospel: our actions, words, and lifestyle. But again we cannot make an impact unless God is wanting it to happen, so instead of trying to always witness to people we need to pray that God gives us divine opportunities where He can work through us.

"God wants to touch people everyday in every moment...He is waiting to touch them and maybe that is through me."

"Anyone at any time of day, it could be there moment to meet Jesus."
