It is amazing how we think we know people.
Think about your families, how well do you know them?
Think about your friends, how well do you know them?
When you are sitting at a mall at Starbucks just trying to have quiet time and you begin watching people walk by....wondering what their lives are like....wondering what things have happened in their lives....wondering if they know Jesus....
We don't know everything about people's lives because they don't share everything with us and then in later years when we find out things, we are shocked, curious, surprised.
Someone made a statement to me the other day that I don't want to do things with people I don't know!
Well how are we suppose to get to know new people if we don't introduce ourselves, come out of our shells, come out of our boxes. How are people suppose to get to know Jesus if we just sit at that mall in that chair and be people watchers.
Instead let's get out of that chair and show Jesus to those people at the mall, at the stores, at the schools, at the park, everywhere. People need the Lord and it is up to us who know Him to share Him. Let's not be like Peter and deny we know Him instead let's be like Jesus and share with the whole world.
We may not know everything about our family and friends, their secrets not shared but thanks to God He knows us, everything about us and He will help us through all parts of our lives even the secret places and one day He will allow us to share those secrets with others because as you sit and watch all those people you come across each day there is at least one who has faced the same trials and tribulations as you have and God can use us to help those.
Won't you consider meeting someone new, you never know, it might be an open door to share Jesus with someone who doesn't know Him!
