Think of a name. Any
name. A friend, a relative, or a co-worker. When was the last time that person
visited a church? Maybe they haven't been to church in a long time. Maybe
they've never gone to church.
Have you ever thought
about asking that person to come with you to church? Take a chance. Don't worry
about feeling nervous. We all do. But remember that God has placed that person
in your life for a reason; He can give you the courage and the opportunity to
ask.
It’s not as hard as it
may seem. Did you know that most people who have dropped out of church haven’t
lost their faith in God—they simply fell out of the habit of going to church?
Some moved, had a change in life circumstances, or had a falling out with their
former church and simply drifted away. Most often, life just became too busy.
This means many of them are open to returning to church.
Will you pray for that
person God has placed on your heart?
Let's see what He can
do!
If the person that
you've been praying for doesn’t respond at first - keep praying for and
inviting them!
Amen?
