Boldness? Friendliness?

Today,i met a very interesting lady who is in her 50s in the train.At first,she didn’t catch my attention as i was trying to catch a nap..Sitting beside me was a black amercian african lady with a little boy..The elderly lady started to ask the boy about the book that he’s reading & asking him why is he so hyper & jumping all over the place..

I thought maybe she was irritated by the little one but she became to talk to him,like a granny would talk to the grandchildren..She taught him about manners,asked abt his school,etc..I thought she was so bold…Let’s ask ourselves,how many of us would actually have the courage to strike a conversation with a stranger?

A thought came to my mind - how many of us have the courage to declare our faith to our family,colleagues,friends,etc?? How many of us have the boldness to share our faith & the love of God with our loved ones? Do we really care if they can make it to heaven or hell?

Like what pst says,do our colleagues or friends know that we are Christians or are we the “secret agents”? It is a question that should set our hearts thinking & pondering..But let it not be just something that slips by..but rather, put some action to the thought..

I thank God that He can speak to me even in such scenario..
