Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit… and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:12-13

Today, when you go to church or the to the store, reach out to someone and be kind. If there is a first-time guest who walks in through the doors of your church, put yourself in their shoes; they don’t know anyone, they feel out-of-place, and they are hungry enough for God to get themselves out of bed and get ready to go to a place with strangers. Your smile, your kindness, and your love can affect them in the most wonderful way.

One conversation can change a person’s life.

If you don’t believe me, think back to the conversation someone had with you about the love of God.

Well, friend, it is time to reach out and share your experience with others, it cannot wait another day. Think of at least one person who needs to hear about the love of God. Can you hear the cry of your family? Can you hear the cry of your city? One lost soul is too many.

Joel 3:14 soberly states, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision”.

There are multitudes in the valley of decision. Multitudes we walk past every day of our lives. How many times have I had an opportunity to witness and I’ve just let a moment slip away? God, have mercy. What can we do?

  • Stand in the gap.
  • Pray for sensitivity.
  • Reach for a lost soul.
  • Pray for boldness.
  • Seek the Lord for a burden.
  • Pray to be a laborer.

Prayer: Lord, I pray you will give me the wisdom I need to share Your word with someone today. I desire to make an impact in this world with Your gospel. Give me Your heartbeat and teach me how to love people. Give me eyes to see people’s spiritual needs. Lead me to every honest, hungry heart today. Amen.
