Will You Be Willing To friend?

Do you find it easy to meet people? In the U.S., it's very easy. Whether you get in a cab or sit alone in a bar, immediately you are approached. 

I noticed that again recently on my last trip there. I wasn't in the country for more than five minutes and it was already happening. My Uber driver immediately asked why I was there and I told him about my job. 

Without hesitation, he told me his life story: divorce, the new man at his wife's side doesn't suit him, he's worried about his two children who are now growing up with that man, etc....

"What would you do in such a situation?" he asked, without hesitation…almost faster than I was ready to answer. 

Although his question caught me off guard in the midst of my jet lag and the fatigue of the trip, I only had to think for a moment before telling him how valuable it has been to have my parents praying for me, not only when I was anorexic, but to this day. That has saved me from so many bad decisions. I told him that he could do the same.

Sure, this thought came to me because I had told my story many times. If I had never thought about it before, I probably wouldn't have known what to say at that moment.

Be ready to answer a question faster than you can be asked a question.

That's what 1 Peter 3:15 says: "...Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have…” (1 Peter 3:15 NIV) 

Have you ever thought in depth about what your story is, or what you could share with others if you were put in that situation? It's not just a situation; it's an opportunity to change a life forever!

Will you be ready?

You are a miracle!
