This has been one of those weeks that can only be described as ‘full’. Both planned and unplanned events have filled me up, and as a result, late last night I realized I hadn’t written anything yet. So today I’ll keep it simple.
About a year ago I stumbled across an article by Dave Ferguson on vergenetwork.org where he shows in a very simple and easy-to-remember way, how to reach our neighbors. The secret is simple: You bless them.
Here’s how it works:
B – Begin with prayer. Ask, “God how do You want me to bless the people in the places You have sent me?”
L – Listen. Don’t talk, but listen to people, their struggles, their pains, in the places God sent you.
E – Eat. Sit down, have a meal with people, or a cup of coffee. Eating together builds relationships.
S – Serve. If you listen with people and you eat with people, they will tell you how to love them and you’ll know how to serve them.
S – Story. When the time is right, then talk, and share the story of how Jesus changed your life.
Pretty simple, eh? If you want to reach those around you, BLESS them.
I pray you have a wonderful, BLESSed week.
