I was riding on the bus yesterday with several children. One child pointed to my necklace and said, "I like that, what is that?" I said, "It's the cross with a heart around it." A different student, a boy, said, "I know what that is, that is God and it shows that you love him" I said, "Yes and he loves me too." The boy said, "God died on the cross." The first child said, "Oh, yeah, I saw the movie."
While I found this humorous it also helped me remember that everywhere I go, everything thing I do, and every word I says shows that I am a Christian. I have the opportunity to show people the way to Jesus or I can turn people the other way. I thought about this quick minute where I had the opportunity to share my faith. Was it enough? Did I say the right words? Do the kids really understand? Is there something more I should have done or said? I prayed about this last night and was comforted by the realization that I was well prepared for that faith moment. I said what came to my heart and God took care of the rest. When faced with a choice I chose to act and share my faith. I wasn't eloquent but I was honest. I didn't have a lot to say, but God made it enough.
