Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains.
-Colossians 4:3
God gave me a voice and an ear for widows and widowers. He gave my sons the same for orphans.
After Mary’s memorial, someone said of my eulogy, “Someone walked out of that church with a new love of Christ in their heart.” To have the Holy Spirit work through me in that way was uplifting. It gave me call to share my faith in its ignorant infancy.
I still don’t know much about my faith. My way is to ask questions and be open to answers that I don’t want to hear. It’s the best way to listen to the widowed, be not just prepared, but enthusiastic about hearing something awful and scary.
Evangelism isn’t a sales job for Heaven. It is an opening of the mind to the vast space between Heaven and Hell.
