Do you know people who need God?

Everyone hope everybody's doing well and you've had a blessed week. When you go through your day to days, do you take every opportunity to share your goodness with other people that you interact with? Every day you come across someone that comes across your path, whether it be a friend, co-worker, family member, there's an opportunity there to share the good news with them.

It's from Colossians chapter 4 verse 5 through 6. “Live wisely among those who are not believers and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.”

Think about it, who are the people around you who need God? I want you to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and consider those who are close to you that for one reason or another are not following God. Is there someone in your family? Perhaps one of your friends? A co-worker? A neighbor? Having the right response for someone is not really about knowing how to win an argument. It's much more about living in such a way through the circumstances of life that others take notice. You want others to see a wellspring of strength and a daily resource in you. You want them to think there's something different about him. He has a piece I need.

When that moment comes, you want to be ready and to share about the source of your strength and courage. It is in the everyday moments that your life has its greatest impact. How others see you in the routines, accidents, stresses, and relationships will reveal to them who you truly are and what you truly have. How you live in your everyday life could make the difference between someone finding God or continuing to live apart from him. You never know what that difference might be to that other person. So when you have time in your interactions with others, take the time to show them that you're what strength you have in your courage and that God gives you that strength and courage. It could help that other person and it could turn things around for them.

So just a prayer for us. God, let me live constantly in your patterns every day so I may be ready to share at any moment how great you are. God help me to share the good news that you have. God help me to show the strength and courage that you have given me to show others that they too can have that same strength and courage. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
