Monsters Out of Molehills


Do you ever feel afraid to approach a stranger and talk to him about the things of God? Does a little old lady suddenly look like Goliath when you go to pass her a Gospel tract? Imagine for a moment that you are not a Christian, and that some Christian is standing in the shadows, trembling in fear at the thought of giving you a Gospel tract. How would that make you feel? Wouldn't his fear be an insult to you as a person? What are you, some sort of monster? Of course not. So, treat others, as you would have them treat you. Don't make monsters out of molehills. Push aside your fears, say a warm, "Hello," and when the person answers you back, ask, "Did you get one of these?" and hand him or her a tract. If you will do that, you will find that your initial fears are unfounded. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
