Today in worship our Pastor challenged us to attempt to do something to share our faith with others.  She shared we would not be judged by the response of the other person, but we would have to answer in our hearts if we had honestly made an intentional attempt to share our faith with another.  Jesus, who achieved success almost everywhere he went, was rejected in his hometown.

The challenge reminded me of what I experience every time I meet a new patient.  I come to offer encouragement and form a relationship.  But just because those are my goals, if the patient does not want me in their room, I can be asked to leave.  I am not sure what my attempt to share my faith this week will look like. But I am glad to know that God will bless me whether the other person responds affirmatively or negatively to any invitation I offer.  That is the beauty of God’s love.  And that is a great Truth for Christianity to share with our world!
