You're exactly right. As ...So, so good, Rachel. You're exactly right. As believers, we have to know it and LIVE it. If the lost see no difference in us OR if the difference they see is a bad one, why would they even DESIRE to hear more? God is the only one who can draw them, but He can mightily use US, as believers, to help in that. If we aren't LIVING it, I would say that we don't KNOW it. If we really understand who God is and that heaven and hell are real, we can't help but live differently than the world around us. <br /><br />I love what you said about not complaining for a minute. Oh, if we all could just get that. I would even encourage YOU to remember that statement you made whenever you return to teach in the fall - assuming that's what God has you do. I could see how the busy-ness of the day-to-day American life could be very discouraging after having spent so many months in another country, focusing on telling others about the Lord. I could see how people in that situation might be tempted to say, "This stuff doesn't matter!!! I don't want to be in this office or this work place all day. I want to be out telling others about God!" We all need to look around us right where we are and ask, "What do you want me to do today, Lord? Who can I talk to about you?" <br /><br />I know I'm "preaching to the choir." I'm just really thinking through what you said about not complaining. That really stuck with me. <br /><br />I love you and pray I get to talk to you tomorrow!!!<br /><br />MelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
