Grief Relieved
The Grief and Release
I have nothing better to share with my neighbors, co-workers, or even a stranger, than Jesus. And knowing Jesus, I have the Hope of that better life, eternally. And that hope is for all with whom God would have me share His Good News; in these days the urgency to share my faith seems ever more crucial.
I've never been more mindful of having handy a gospel tract with me ready to give someone since then; I had not shared such as much before as I have since. Even on my way to my nephew's funeral, I had tracts with me. But, while being ready to hand someone a gospel tract is good, being prepared to speak my faith is even better. Even though oral communication is not my expertise, but I believe God would have me to do so, according to His command and promise He has given me, found at Exodus 4:12, and in the manner of 1 Peter 3:15.
Therefore, that is my prayer, which I am ever attentive to the Holy Spirit’s leading, in my going about the affairs of my earthly pilgrimage. For I (as well as my fellow Christ followers) for that purpose—as aliens in this world, foreign and fallen, we are representatives of Christ's Kingdom, with the better news for real restoration.
And so, what now
