DON'T GIVE UP, COZ HE DIDN'T!
Sometimes, it's easy for us to think only those who have a gift of evangelism can talk to others about Christ. But that's a life Satan wants us to believe so he can render us ineffective. I've always had a cold spot for evangelism, just because it's hard work and we don't see the results immediately. But now evangelism is so prevalant in my life, i can't run away from it.
To encourage myself, i tell myself: wherever your two feet are planted, Cheryl, you are a ambassador for Christ, a missionary in your own special way. Being a missionary is not being a bible-basher. But it does mean living your life so others ask, "Hey, you're different. Why?" Whereever we go, whatever we do, people are watching us.
That's why i continually pray to God "Lord, love people through me." and remind myself that i am a testimony which will affect lives for eternity. And as much as i want to see all my friends around me come to know CHrist immediately, because its the best thing that can happen to anyone, I know that sometimes things like these don't happen immediately. Plant the seed and be patient. Keep watering the seed and in time, you'll be able to see it grow. And remember, no matter how hard people are to crack, if you involve God in the process, they will one day see.
Never give up on people, becuase God never gave up on you and will never give up on you. So for those who are in my position "JIA YOU!" (direct translation: add oil; indirect translation: don't give up). For those who are in the other position, don't close the door, give God a chance to show you what it means to love and be loved through others.
Peace,
Cheryl

Good work Cheryl! Why do we all have different passions? So everything that’s supposed to get done will get done. He’s designed us all with different abilities and different interests so that we are not only good at what we do, we do not have to be frustrated or depressed over what we aren’t good at. When we all do our part in the Body of Christ, everyone gets a job, everyone gets honored, and everyone’s important. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.
A small tip: Billy Graham was a great evangelist in our time because when HE preached the gospel, HE never excluded himself from needing it.
I think for those of us who have experienced God and how God is so REAL....we will never say that since we know him, we don't need Him anymore. God has this addictive effect on us....hahaha!! Is God like a drug? Maybe a good drug....hahaha!!!
