Hi guys, just watch a sermon about were to show God's love. And learned that it can be anywhere, my question is how do I tell God's love to someone I work with or someone I know in public without freaking them out.. and how do I tell them and when is it the right time to show someone God's love. There is this one person that I work with and I do want to share Christ with her but is afraid and don't want to act religious.. anyone has that situation and how do you do it ?
The Absolutely BEST way to show God's LOVE to others, is for you to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. If a person lives in God's LOVE it will radiate out from the person. Living in God's LOVE, you will have peace that surpasses all understanding, a happiness that all will desire to have.
Someone who desires to be happy, will inquire to the why you are so happy all the time. This is a perfect opportunity to tell them it is Jesus. Then give them your testimony.
If Jesus is in you, it will reflect out of you, if people desire to have what you have, they will ask you about it.
It is written that those who draw close to God, is when God will draw close to them. God will pull at them, and one day when you are around her, she will just ask you about it, or you will have an overwhelming feeling to talk to her about Jesus. The Spirit knows the perfect timing.
Also you need to check your motives? Do you only work with the one person, her? Are there many others around? Why are you wanting to reach out to her with God's Love and not the others who work their as well? Why her? Are your motives Godly or are they something else? If you reach out to only her with God's Love and not to the others, how is that like Jesus? Did He not reach out to ALL, to Everyone. This is something you need to address, why do you want to reach out to her and not to the others?
We as Christians are commanded by Jesus Christ to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, this is NOT to pick and choose who we will give God's Love to, and who we choose not to give God's Love too. We are to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, That is you need to be asking how to show God's LOVE to everyone, not just to one.
Also, she may be wanting to talk to a Christian person, does she know you are a Christian? Do you profess to be a Christian at your work place, Do you wear Christian related stuff, Do you have pictures of Christian stuff in your office, or cubicle, or whatever? Do you have a Bible at your work place? Many lost people would probably want to talk to a a Christian person, the problem is where are they? You can't tell one person from another in the work place. Sad. True Christians are not ashamed of Jesus Christ, and you SHOULD be able to spot them on sight, but not today. NOT this generation. Sad, real sad.
But then again, i might be a little biased. i'm a Jesus Freak. ONLY wear Christian shirts, wear a cross necklace. Pictures of Jesus all over my house, library full of Christian books that i have read, car full of Christian bumper stickers, and the Truck i had previous to the car i have now, had Bible verses that i put on the truck. Cross hanging from mirror, a ring on my right hand that says JESUS, and wedding band on my left. and even though i have been divorced for over 7 years now, people ask me about the ring, or ask if i am married, and i reply, Yes, to Jesus Christ. i have read the entire Bible over 80 times in my life
and much, much, more things because i love Jesus. i love Him so much, i have given Him my life, as He gave me His. Jesus Freak and proud of it, and am not ashamed of who i serve and who my Master is, who my Lord and Savior is. JESUS CHRIST.
So i may be a little biased. like a Mother concerning her own child will be biased.
Anyways the BEST way to show God's Love is to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for it is written, when you do it unto the least of these, you do it unto ME. When you LOVE others, you LOVE JESUS, when you fail to LOVE others, you FAIL to LOVE Jesus.
