Bible Note: May I say Hank so thoughtfully has given a great answer. I would like to add, I am a nam of no great substance, in looks, intellengence, or tallent. However I am friendly and I make it a point to say hello, and try to say something when I am on a plane, train, store, in other words, my daily traffic patter of life. No matter what a person looks like or seems to be, I try to open doors of being friendly. I have led janitors to Christ, a shepard boy in Bolivia, a very wealthy business man , and people from all walks of life. I don't keep count, Jesus does that. I can tell you I have felt try to be friendly, and let the Lord open the door, I will share Christ, and the results are in the persons hands as the Holy Spirit trys to open their heart. This has been my blessing to introduce several hundred people to Christ. Others planted the seed, someone elsed watered, still who knows who has prayed for these people. Many are waiting for us to just speak in love as a potential friend to them about Christ. The fields are white and ready. I do not care about a persons, color, clothes, wealth, or their illness, if I can be a part of spredding The seed or watering, or praying, I pray that somehow the Lord will direct me. I hope this encourages you. agape, justme |
