We must all do whatever we can to help other people see the light of God. I am bothered by those that say that ignorance is bliss and I think, "and you are a child of God?" My husband tells me all the time when he speaks with new Christians the one thread in common is they tell him how many people they knew in their lives that reveal afterwards that they too are Christians. The unsaved had no idea and were never once talked to about Jesus. That makes me sad and also reflective. I try to self exam to make sure I always profess my Lord and Savior. The place we spend most of our time is in the workplace therefore it is a barometer for you to see if they do indeed know you are a believer. I used to be subtle....asking someone not to take the Lord's name in vain but I would phrase it as such..."it's not Jesus' fault you are having a bad day, don't take it out on Him" and there would be no defensive comeback. It actually would make them feel sheepish. The point is our faith and testimony can be a sweet aroma of perfume, not a suffocating perfume that overwhelms. People will listen to you and actually converse with you if you approach the subject of salvation in the right way. Don't be afraid of rejection..look at the life of Jesus here on earth? Did the man deserve one ounce of anything He endured? No, but He did it anyway and when we commit our lives to Him, we make the same commitment. So today...be bold with your faith and share the gospel of the Lord. And I pray you will be blessed as well!
Psalm 30: 4-5
