Recently, during Thanksgiving break, I crumbled into the fear of sharing the Gospel with those in my family who are not Christians. I was afraid of what would happen if they said no, so I never dared to try. Instead, I went to some random person to try and share the Gospel, but not to the ones I'm supposed to love more. I'm trying to let the Lord renew my heart and mind instead of being stubborn in my defiant ways, trying to listen to Him instead of listening to my own temptations and fears. I struggle with this even though I know I, through the Spirit, can say no to that fear. So this winter break I am praying that the Lord will give me a second chance, to step out of the rut despite the "consequences" that might come with it.
“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” (Psalms 27:10) Everyone who has been born again understands fully all that you have said here, but consider a truth you offered here as well. " I went to some random person to try and share the Gospel." Everything in its time.
