SHARE

So I know this may not be a poem but it has something that I have been thinking about sometime now and I just want to share it. We go to church, hear an amazing message and you leave thinking "wow that really spoke to me, I really want to do all those thing he talked about." But then the conversation changes to "im hungry, are we going to go out and spend money or go home and eat?" Then, well you make think about it a few times more and then... NO ACTION! I am guilty of this, just like everyone else. Habits, routines, schedules, kids, husbands, wives, friends etc. The only way we are going to take these things into action is spending time with our Lord and Savior and praying all day long! So that was one thing I have been thinking a lot about... Another thing is... the lost... everywhere I go I can't help but think about all those people that don't have a relationship with Jesus. And yes you can be a nice person and be an example, but if you don't speak up how will they know that its fruit from the Holy Spirit you are producing?? Just talking about this right now makes me want to weep! "Why Lord am I always thinking about myself??" There are lost people out there and sharing Christ with them is way more important than worrying about things God has already promised He would provide! I am not worthy of anything but Jesus died for me so I can have LIFE.. and the person next to me is dying! Why am I wasting my life here on earth trying to make myself feel better when I have been given eternal life??? So I have been on a mission! I have been praying for opportunities to share with anyone God puts in my path. And guess what?? He gives those opportunities. Just the other day I was getting my nails done and the girl doing my nails was talking to me and God put on my heart.."Share with her".. and so i begin to ask her questions about church and learned that she is from Vietnam and her mother made her promise her that she is to never go to another type of church other than Catholic. So her whole life she felt like she had to obey her. Sad... but interesting. I shared with her a little of my testimony and told her how my relationship with God is what saved me. And then asked her to go to church and even tho she wanted to she felt like she couldn't. So then I asked her if she had a bible at home and she does! I encouraged her to pray to God.. no one else, just God asking Him to speak to her as she reads the bible. And she seemed so happy!... "thank you Lord!" I prayed. The perfect opportunity... she was stuck there for a little while doing my nails and so I got her full attention. Even though I listened to God that time doesn't mean I do it every time. One time I saw a very friendly lady at home depot in the paint section, she asked if i was waiting and then made sure i got the paint I wanted (she didn't work there :-), then the very next day I saw the same lady at the grocery store!! Mason was with me but he was doing surprisingly well, and God kept tell me... "talk to her.. share with her." We saw each other, talked and nothing! A few aisles later I saw her again.. and nothing!!! I left praying, "Lord use someone else to share with her, since I missed my opportunity." And He will. But I was bummed, but it made me that much more excited. A couple weeks ago I shared with a girl I met at a jewelry party and she commit ed her life to Lord right then and there!!! It was the most amazing thing! God used me! But if we pray for that opportunity to share and pray for a heart for the lost he will do it!!! So please don't waste anymore time. Share with your neighbors! Ask them if they attend church somewhere... or whatever God puts on your heart. He will give you the words and strength because this is why we are here, to be used by Him. Love God and love people! If you read this, great! I hope I didn't bore you! :-) Just a nice way for me to share what is on my heart :-)
