Beloved,
Quite often, the Lord gives us opportunities to be light or salt…because that’s what He wants us to be; therefore, He is obligated to not only give us the opportunity to be light or salt but also empower us to be that.
So, whenever we pass up such opportunities. the next best thing we must do is receive our forgiveness for disobeying. Say “Father, that was a perfect opportunity for me to be light or salt. To mention Jesus, or a biblical principle, or ask if I could pray for the person who shared the situation with me. But I did not do so and I receive my forgiveness for my disobedience.“
If you will take responsibility like that, you will become more aware of such opportunities in the future. If not, you will consequently become less and less aware of such opportunities.
This is how that believers can go for months and years and never be light or salt, never invite anybody to church, never pray with anyone about anything and never mention Jesus to anybody, etc.
The whole point of our lives on this earth is to be a witness! It is! Why? so others can come into this family!
I love you!
Pastor Shina
