BFF

By Luke Vertz

We all have a best friend. You may have one, two, or maybe even a handful of people in your life that you would do anything for… or would you?

I want you to think of those best friends and ask yourself if they know Jesus Christ.

Are you willing to share the love of God that you have with them?

Have you been avoiding that conversation because you are nervous, ashamed, or fearful of their reaction?

I have a friend who I would list as one of my best friends. We basically spent our entire childhoods together. Despite sharing so much in common, Kevin and I both had different perspectives on faith. He was never against Christianity, he was just one not to apply it to his life. I often felt led to speak into His life and although I did at times, I know I could have done much more. So this challenge is for me just as much or more than it will for you.

Sometimes the reason behind our indifference is the feeling that we don’t have anything to give. When we feel weak ourselves, we don’t feel like we are in the place to speak into the lives of others. This is wrong thinking. The Holy Spirit has given you and I both special gifts to use in order to help, encourage, and ultimately lead others to salvation.

To directly combat indifference is to intentionally do kind deeds for others.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.” -Aesop

READ HEBREWS 6:12 & JOHN 14:21

If you truly want to experience joy, make sharing your faith a priority. You will discover that in telling others of the promises that God has given you, you yourself will be filled with joy and the assurance of your faith.
