Barrier Breakdown

I've been learning a lot lately about the barriers to sharing our faith with others. When I am scared I can always find a convincing reason to isolate myself and my faith from the world out there. This is the exact opposite of what God has called me to do. 

I want my love for the Lord to be so prevalent that it spills over into my conversations with others. I talk about my husband, my daughter, and my interests easily. But I don't want to leave out my Saviour and my God. He is more than worthy of raising in the context of discussion (relevant). He is applicable to the point at issue (pertinent). I want him to quicken my heart for his most precious possessions, that being the people he has placed around me. When I do show a love beyond myself, then He is the one in full view, and that is a sight to behold.

Let me live that I may praise you. Psalm 119:175a
