You can lead a horse to water

but you can’t make them drink. Yes an old saying but so true today as I try to share with a co-worker and there is resistance. So I did not get offended I simply smiled and stayed in their conversation. I will still be kind to them. Offer advice and love and pray for them. My job is to present the Lord and if they don’t take the awesome offer then I move on and just love them and live by example. They know who I am and what I stand for. God has released me from carrying the burden of making sure they know Him. How great is that? I don’t have to carry the guilt of them not accepting Jesus. God will deal with them and will bring in someone else, if needed, to talk to them. What a great release for me. I am to live and be an example and speak when the opportunity arises. Hallelujah.

This is a new assurance for me. A realization that I’ve got an awesome thing with God whom provides for me and takes care of me, speaks to me, directs my steps and has promised me eternal life. Things I knew but have recently become a confidence in my life. So, I’m offering it to you but if you don’t want it – ok. I’ll tell someone else. I have a confidence in the "product" so to speak. I’m not going to beg you. Kind of like if you were selling a great shoe. You’d present it, market it and people would buy because it’s great. Same thing. It’s like my boss. He’s trying to CONVINCE people to use him as their broker. He's awesome yet his almost begging makes it seem like the service isn’t that good. Relax and be assured in what you have to offer. Walk in confidence and a knowing you are amazing. Watch how people try to attach themselves to your greatness… that really comes from the Lord.
