Sharing

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"
-- 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This verse struck me today. I started thinking about all the versions of the Bible I have access to and all the other books about Jesus that I've read. I realized that I read about Him but I keep the Good News to myself. I need to get out there and talk about Him and share what I know to be truth, from the Word and from my own experiences, with others I meet especially if they don't have the gift of Jesus in their lives.

Lord, help me to be a light in the darkness to the people you put in my path! Guide me to gently and respectfully share Your Truth.
