How are you?
It's amazing what that sentence can do to open the door to some one's heart when asked genuinely with the desire for an honest answer. You'd be surprised at how many people come to Jesus simply because you showed them who Jesus is by caring for them and loving them the way no one else seemed to before. Talk to one another, even if they aren't Christian and their sentences are littered with curse words. Keep listening, and give them words of encouragement and even share a scripture (without quoting which verse it is) that way it just seems like conversation, but in all actuality, you're sowing Holy Spirit seeds into them without them knowing it. All sneaky like. But you get what I mean, people who don't know Jesus aren't going to open up to someone standoffish, nor will they see who Jesus is in you if you don't reflect His same kindness and openness to all people, not only the saved. Don't get comfortable being Christian, test your faith and reach out to someone who does all the things you know are wrong. Because they are the ones who need to be reached for Jesus. People don't have to be perfect before they come to God, they come to God and He does the perfecting. All we have to do is be the Light, the unsaved will know there is something different about you and eventually they will want to know more about why, let the topic of Jesus come up naturally. Don't force it. Share a simple conversation with someone today that you normally wouldn't. They probably need it the most.
