Just Let it Happen

If you are concerned about your witness for Christ, and you want to be sure that people know that you are a christian; don't. Just let it happen. Just focus on living for Jesus, and the ever-present joy and geniune zest for life that you exude will expose you. If you are living for Jesus; joy will be a natural by product. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isa 26:3
For the last 3 months I have been working on a new account. I am freindly with the guys there and we occasionally engage in a little light weight conversation, but nothing really substantial. I did not think that anyone was paying any attention to me. However, I found out that some of the guys do take notice. One of the guys came up to me friday and said, "you never seem to complain or get flustered the way the other guys do". I took this as a compliment, but actually I never gave it much of a thought. This is good, I feel as though I am gaining some credibility with this man. I believe that eventually, God willing, I will have an oppurtunity to effectively witness to this man.
Every good salesman knows that you will not succeed in persuading a customer until you first develop trust and credibility with them. I wouldn't say that I am selling Jesus, but the similarities are undeniable.
Keep in mind that witnessing is the job of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that draws men to Christ. We are just instruments at best. So relax, live for Jesus, and the oppurtunities to witness will come. Furthermore it will feel natural and be far more effective.
