Let your light shine
Let your light shine
How many opportunities have you had to share the gospel? As you involve yourself in your home, church, and community, you will discover more opportunities to share the reason for the hope that you have. But how do you let your Christianity shine through so people will approach you?
- Wear a cross necklace or a T-shirt with a Christian saying next time you go to the gym or the doctor’s office.
- Listen to a Christian radio station or have Christian screensavers on your computer at work.
- Be a good listener. When people talk about their lives—and problems in their lives— tell them about God’s promises and how they help you through your hard times.
- Be forgiving. Let’s face it: shaking your fist at the driver who cuts you off does not display Christian love. Neither does holding a grudge against a coworker.
- Be aware of your words and actions. People are watching. They notice when you aren’t living as a Christian should.
