I recently read this and wanted to share it....
ON THE INSIDE of us is CHRIST who is the LIGHT. As you and I ALLOW HIM TO SHINE FORTH, those who are walking in darkness will be DRAWN BY HIS LIGHT.
We must not shy away from those that do not think like us, believe like us and/or act like us. We are called to share the gospel so that we all can walk in His Light. Too often we categorize one another by sex, age, financial status, faith and that is not what God intended. Saints and sinners alike must commune in order to share the power of Jesus Christ. Saints must work in the secular fields in order to be the "light" in the otherwise dark place. Not all believers are called to the pulpit and missionary work. Some are called to work in prisons, hospitals, schools, construction...wherever it is God has placed you, it is not a mistake. He has you exactly where He wants you so that you can be the light for others. People will never know the gospel unless it is shared with them by someone like you. We are all called to be fishermen of men and it should not be taken lightly. People will say they are not called to preach or evangelize but we all must have a bit of that in us. If you are the only believer at your office, it is God who called you there to be used as a beacon of light. This is not the time to be shy or "private". You never ever know who it is you are sharing with and what they may be going through. The Lord uses all of us and speaks through us in order to reach the lost. You are a very important part of the Kingdom and must never downplay your part or role. So I urge you today to share the word of God with someone. Don't be afraid of rejection for the seed will still be planted. There may a day in that person's life where the seed you planted grows to be a powerful branch of hope in their life. Don't worry about the result, just get the action going and let God do the rest.
Matthew 5:14
Proverbs 4:18
John 8:12
"The call of every Christian is to share their faith".
