I read about a lady who made up her mind to invite her co-worker to church after 8yrs of working together. She had always wanted to invite her coworker to church but she kept on putting it off.
This time when there was a special program at her church she mustered some courage and she invited her co-worker. Do you know what the co-worker said?
She said “I go to the same church. I was going to invite you to the same event”.
This story would have been very funny if it wasn’t so sad. That it took 8 years for two children of God to recognize themselves at a workplace.
“”Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 ESV
Loving God or anyone involves talking about the one you love. If you love God for real then you should be encouraged to let people know how much you love God without being offensive.
When we let people know how much we love God, they would reach out or react in ways that show us if they are open to learning about God or not! When people show interest in knowing God or when they are open to us despite our obvious display of love for God, we invite them to a discovery bible study.
