How do we share God's word?As a fairly new born again Christian I tend to avoid out and out evangelism for several reasons, one, because I don't like having hell, fire and damnation thrown at me so I don't throw it at anyone else and two, because I'm embarrassed that people will think I've lost the plot if I walk up to a stranger and start talking about God. However the course I'm doing at church at the moment is making me look at why and how we talk to people about heaven and hell and where we think we'll end up. If I'm a Christian I obviously believe there is a God and I also believe there is a devil....So! if we know there are two options why do we hesitate, why don't we just get out there and try to save as many people as we can so they don't end up in hell? I don't know the answer to that at the moment but that's why I'm doing this course, I'm learning and I'm being challenged to move out of my 'comfort zone'.
For some reason I just couldn't get myself on here yesterday, it was two years ago yesterday that we had to say goodbye (for now) to Chris and a voice in my head kept telling me I should be on here marking the day, but I sat down a few times and the words just wouldn't come to me. I'm quite glad now because the post could have been a bit depressing or negative and they're not words I ever associate with thoughts of Chris. Positive and happy are definitely what springs to mind whenever I think of him and because I know he's keeping an eye on me, positive and happy I will be.It doesn't take a genius to hear the change in my mood and it's because I've experienced something special.....again. I missed church last week, we had the run up to the dreaded day and somewhere along the way I lost my joy and inner peace and couldn't focus on the positives, it wasn't nice. Today however is a bit different, no, it's a lot different. From the moment I left for church this morning I've been so close to Chris, on the journey there I had vivid pictures in my mind of us laughing hysterically, during the worship songs whenever I closed my eyes his face was there smiling and by the end of the service I felt uplifted beyond belief.Col talked about us sharing God's Word and showing others just how different life is when you have a relationship with Him, I know I've said it many times before but I'll say it again, I wish I could bottle it and give everyone a dose of what I have, because it's so special and it's free to anyone who asks for it.Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord,Our God, you reign forever,Our hope, our strong deliverer,You are the everlasting God,You do not faint, you don't grow weary,You're the defender of the weak,You comfort those in need,You lift us up on wings, like eagles.
