cool witnessing opportunity

So I was at Millenium Park today and sittin along Lake Michigan trying to think of something to journal about and having trouble coming up with something to write when I noticed a person walking closer to me (they would go a couple feet, sit down then get up and walk closer. ) So as I was thinking about what to do if they started talking to me I felt God saying that it was ok to talk to them and so I finally talked to them and it turned out that I was able to use that conversation as a way to witness to them about God. As the conversation went on I learned a little more about this person's life and was able to present God in such a way that wasn't threatening but yet still gave them the idea of who God is. Anyway it was interesting how simple conversations can be turned into witnessing. Again I say...(and quoting Jaci Velasquez)



Ev'ry brief encounter that You send my way
Is a chance to show the love You gave me.
I see their troubled faces, a hunger deep inside
But I depend on You to touch their lives.
Light what burns within me, let Your truth shine through my life.
