I met a young woman named Susan once who seemed quite puzzled. We had just heard a message given about The Great Commission. You know the verse“...go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Well, Susan said that she grew up in a Christian home. All her friends already knew about God. Whom could she share The Good News with? My response was this: anyone and everyone.
You see, someone may know about God, but still need encouragement. They may even have a relationship with Jesus, but still need you to share. I told Susan that God can and will use her to bless others. She just needed to pray God would bring the right people into her life and then be willing to speak.
Have you ever asked that question? – Whom can I reach with The Good News? This week I challenge you to first make a list. That’s what I have done in my Bible for years. Write down all the different people you see in a day. Include your boss, the barista at the coffee shop, the grocery store clerk. Second, pray for each person on your list. I do that also. Pray for opportunities to speak to them about Christ. God will help you to reach your world one day at a time.
