“I’m not interested in all that crap”.

That was the response I got when I presented the Gospel (again) to someone who is dear to me.

It left a deep impression on me.  What can I say or do to present Christ in a way that causes people to accept and embrace Him?  My conclusion is that it isn’t up to me.  My responsibility is to share the truth of God in the way I live and the words I speak.  What others do with it is out of my hands.

In further conversation, this dear one suggested that I only “THINK I know the truth”.  Actually, I have seen God prove Himself time after time during the decades I have walked with Him.  Even when I have been unfaithful and failed, God has not changed or abandoned me.  From the day I yielded my life to Christ, He has demonstrated His love and faithfulness to me.  He is more real than anything I can see with my natural eyes.  I have reached the point where I do not THINK I know.  I KNOW that I know.

I continue to wonder how someone whose live is in turmoil continues to reject the only solution to their life’s problems.

The thing that kept me from God during the early part of my life was the fear of what I would “lose” and the things I could no longer do if I were a Christian.  The marvelous thing I discovered is that when I gave up everything I held dear, and yielded to Christ, I actually GAINED.  I just could not see it from the other side of salvation.  Thank God that He chose to snatch me out of the dismal state of my own circumstance.

My prayer is that God will do the same for you.
