God instructs us to go out to the lost and be bold in our walk. It is sometimes difficult to witness for fear of rejection and we may feel inadequate. Jesus was rejected so why do we think we would not also be rejected. Fear stops many people doing what they know they should do. We know fear does not come from the Lord so why do we allow the enemy to stop us doing the Lords work?
I had a friend tell me years ago that she knew she needed to go to her friend and share the plan of salvation but had put it off. My friend had received a call a month later and found out her friend was in serious condition in the hospital. By the time she got a flight and arrived her friend had died. She carried the guilt of waiting to share the love of Jesus for months. She had decided from that point on to witness to everyone she could.
We always think we have plenty of time and will get around to telling the good news to people that need Jesus. We don't even know if we have today let alone tomorrow. There are so many hurting people that do not know Jesus. I pray that we do a better job in doing the Lords work. That we allow the Lord to work through us and reach out to the lost.
Sometimes God takes us to a place in life that only in the end we find out His purpose.
