Titus 2:3-5

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored."

Open the door

Colossians 4: 3-6
"...Praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may make it clear in the way I out to speak. Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity."

I found out recently that someone I know committed suicide. I didn't know her very well but had been to her home and socialized with her on a couple of occassions. My reaction when I was told the news surprised even me. I cried so hard because I thought about how much sadness she must have felt before she took her life and also that I hadn't shared Jesus with her. I thought about the wasted opportunities I had.

It made me think that there are so many people I have interaction with every day who might be going through the same sadness and depression and unless I am open with sharing Christ, those people will never know how God could change their lives and save them.

My prayer is that for God to prepare those hearts of unbelievers to be open to what I have to share and to present opportunities, but it is up to me to open the doors.

Share the love of Christ today with someone you know or someone you don't.
