Day 38. Sharing your faith. Love to fish ~ hate to clean the net.

Sally wanted to tell the other oysters about Jesus ~ but when she felt a prompting ~ she clammed up. Every time.

Sharing your faith.  Does that freak you out?  

Today’s reading reminds us that Jesus called us to be fishers of men. (and women and children)  

   

Do you wonder — what am I going to say? Or think — I’ll just sound stupid?  

Keep this in mind.  

People don’t care what you know, till they know how much you care.

If you care about Jesus, if he has changed your heart — you will witness to others. Focus on Jesus, his love for you and leading to others to Christ will be effortless.  

Great quote ~  

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘You are not a painter,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh

If Van Gogh had doubts about painting, that’s a comfort to all. Push through doubt and act.  

One painter’s style or medium is not another’s. Show 50 artists a field of wildflowers and they’ll create 50 completely different impressions on canvas (and some not on canvas.)  

Each is a beautiful expression of creation filtered through an individual’s soul, mind and emotions.  

Live your life in Christ, listening and following the Holy Spirit’s promptings. If in commune, we can’t help but fish.  

It’s really not hard. But it does take action.  

What holds me back from throwing out my net?

I really hate all the algae and gook that gets stuff in there. It’s really a mess to clean out a net after you use it. But if you don’t clean it out ~ it stinks.  

How can God help me be more confident about sharing my faith?

He’s waiting. All the time. Ask for wisdom and power. Then pick up the brush.
