Football and Witnessing
So this may seem a little weird to those who don't know me, but most of my thoughts come from things that seem unrealated. And this thought came from football.So I was watching football a few moments ago, and I just thought: When you go in to tackle someone, you never wait for them to come to you, you go to them. You go and use your energy, to get to them. You drive to see them.
Is it not the same way with God and Witnessing? I mean, you can't just wake up one morning and say: "Yeah, I'm a Christian so I suppose I better tell someone about Jesus today." That doesn't work! You must go and persue someone. You must strive to be like Jesus, to be Godly, to purify your thoughts, to live for Him. You have to work and work and work at that! And you still may not get very far, but if you go, everyday, and pursue Him, then you will grow closer in your relationship with God. Just like how everyday you practice tackling, you will get better and better at it. You may not choose the right decision in every game, but in the end, through it all, you get better and you improve. With God, if you try to get better, try to stop sinning, you will be closer to Him. You will be more like Jesus. However you can never be perfect (just like even though you're the best player on your team, you still mess up sometimes).
What I am trying to say is that you can't let the world come to you, you can't wait for opportunities. You must seek out the world and create your own opportunities in everyday of your life.

For sure! I've trying this more and it's really great talking to people about God and you run into all kinds of opportunities to pray for people and speak the truth. The other thing you can do is pray that God gives you opportunities each day to witness to people and then do it when you know the holy spirit is telling you to!
