ASK

No one person leads another person to Christ. It may be that you eventually pray with someone who comes to faith or you may directly share the message of the Kingdom so someone makes a decision, but no one single person leads another to Jesus.

Other people dug up ground before you - others tilled that soil - some dropped seeds ahead of you - others watered. All the steps along the way were important.

We must never miss our true purpose as believers in Christ. We must never function as if our role is to convince the already convinced over and over again. I think when the day comes for me to stand before God, He'll ask me one singular question.

He won't ask me how big our choir was.
He won't ask how popular our church picnics were.
He won't ask what the size of our church budget or church building was.
He'll ask one important question: 'How many of My children did you bring home with you?'

Now is our time. We won't have another shot at this life. This is it. It's our run. We must never forget our assignment. Our energies, our passions, our strategies, our hearts, our planning, our activities must somehow always be connected to a soul.

And be blessed.
