“We have this hope, so we are very bold.”  2 Corinthians 3:12 (NCV)

How bold are we for Christ?  Who are we inviting to Bible study or church?    Sometimes the hardest thing to do is invite our unsaved friends and co-workers out of fear of what they may think.  We may not want them to think we are a “Jesus Freak” and have nothing else to do with us.  We must decide we do want to be a “Jesus Freak,” living our lives out loud and boldly for Christ as His glowing bride.  People should see us in restaurants praying.  We should be seen wrapping our arms around a hurting friend and praying with them, not just saying I’ll pray for you.  We do this not to be seen, but to be available to plant something in someone’s heart and to allow God to use us.  When we put our true selves out there with real life, struggles, and triumphs, people will see us praising God thru the good and the bad.  By letting others see we are different, they will want to know the God we know and have the peace and boldness we have.  Let them say what a “Jesus Freak,” maybe we can start a whole new wave of “Jesus Freaks” filled with the hope that is only found in Him.   The question is – are we living our lives so others will feel the need to trust God more and choose to walk boldly in His footsteps?

“Father, let my life glorify You.  Give me the strength, words, and ability to be a light for You so that others may find You from the seed I plant by Your grace.

For His Glory
