Who is the God you know?
Is the God you know full of grace and mercy and compassion? Is the God you know mysterious, surprising, captivating? Is He forever unchanging and yet always brand new? Does He inspire you with His big ideas about how your life can really count? Is He faithful?
In my experience, the people who find themselves taking walks across rooms [to share their faith] have first landed on the belief that the God they know is worth knowing! They have cultivated a heart posture that says, "Well, of course everyone I know would want this type of relationship with God! I'm absolutely sure you'd all love what I'm experiencing here…"
Friends, if you have been [blessed] by God's gift of new life -- as I thankfully have -- and if you want to live your life as an expression of love for the great God you know, then let's crank up our boldness meters and introduce as many people as possible to the God who wants desperately to enfold them in His grace!
