What are we waiting for?
Are we waiting on Jesus to come back? Are we waiting on someone else to tell that family member about Gods love?
I have been thinking a lot lately about why it is so hard to share christ with others. I think their are several reasons we hold back when it comes to our religion.
1. Its not the cool thing to do. ( No matter what our age is we still worry about what someone else thinks about us.)
2. Most people think that telling someone about Jesus is hard. ( The hard part is going to a funeral and you know you passed up that chance.)
3. We talk to our friends and family on a daily basis about our local sports team or about the news but we are silent at the thoughts of talking to them about God and how he has changed our lives.
I have been trying to get children to be different. Different in a way that talking about God and Jesus is a normal act for them. I have a few kids in children's church that love to pray. They might not know what to say when they get up there but they know that they are talking to God.
Sometimes it takes the courage of a child to accomplish a job. They seem to attack the task and think about it later.
I challenge people to have some courage, affect someones life forever. Plant a seed and continue to water it.
God is love!
