Recently, I came across a quote that says, \'€śRemember, you"); document.writeln("may be the only Bible some people ever read.\'€ť When I saw it, I started"); document.writeln("pondering on it, realizing just how true it is because some people may never"); document.writeln("know who God really is. As followers of Christ, we are meant to share the"); document.writeln("gospel with as many people as possible, not necessarily straight away teaching"); document.writeln("what the Bible says, but also by being an example of Christ in the way we live"); document.writeln("and act.

"); document.writeln("

 

"); document.writeln("

Being an example of Christ can look like encouraging someone"); document.writeln("when life gets tough, being kind, and loving others just as God loves us. We"); document.writeln("should let our good deeds shine out for all to see, but with the right motives"); document.writeln("and with the hope that they will get to learn who God is through us. We should"); document.writeln("never try to pressure someone into Christianity because that will just push"); document.writeln("them further away. Instead, we can live a godly life and let people come to us."); document.writeln("Once someone gets to know you better, they feel more comfortable with you and"); document.writeln("may ask about your faith - and when they do ask, always be ready to explain it"); document.writeln("in a gentle and respectful way (1 Peter 3:15-16). Do not try to hide His light... let it shine for all to see!

"); document.writeln("

 

"); document.writeln("

Suggested prayer: Dear God, thank you for showing me what"); document.writeln("your Light looks like. Please help me to share that light with everyone I meet."); document.writeln("When people ask about my faith, please give me the right words to say and lead"); document.writeln("them to you. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
