'Say only what is good and helpful to those you are talking to, and that will give them a blessing.' Ephesians 4:29
We sit in such a privileged place in life. A place that is open to sharing the love of Christ with all who cross our path in the day.
My 3 year old granddaughter was looking at a model of the 'Last Supper' on my dining room table and she asked, 'Is that a cake?' She knelt on the chair, to get a closer look, and was in awe of what it could be if it wasn't a cake. There followed the most wonderful conversation. Her last encounter with Christ had been the baby in the manger at Christmas time, now she was looking at the 'adult' Jesus and the questions flowed. 'What are their names, why are they with Jesus, why does one have his sandals off his feet, look what they are eating. To her, the model came to life, it came into her life in a very real way just for those moments of conversation until she ran back to her previous activity.
What a treasured moment. A moment when Christ became real to her, when Christ held her and the wonder and awe captivated her, touched her.
Encounter with those who do not yet know Christ is a rich blessing and we have that opportunity within our reach each and every day when we step outside the door and into the world to share the 'realness' of Christ.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
