It is a very lazy Saturday morning, still in my pj’s I was surprised by a knock at the door. I opened the door and was greeted by three Jehovah witnesses. A little annoyed, I listened to what they had to say. I was polite and I took their pamphlet and they left.
After they had gone, I got to thinking. I am not going to pretend to know what they believe in, however, I know their beliefs don’t line up with my own. With that said, I am impressed with them. It takes a lot of courage to go up to a strangers house and proclaim what you believe in.
I don’t know if I have the same amount of courage. I do believe in God and I do love Him, but I don’t know if I could walk up to complete strangers and start a conversation about God.
Why are we so afraid? Why don’t Christian’s do the same? Is it that we are lazy? Are we unsure what we believe in? Are we uneducated in the Bible?
Jehovah Witnesses have gotten a bad name for themselves, but they are still people. Treat them with the same respect you would like to be given.
I pray for the courage to spread the message of God. I pray you also have the same courage when the opportunity presents itself.
