God Shines Forth
God is Good!
And we are called to share the good news of salvation with those around us.
But evangelism sounds daunting - to some of us.
Especially to those of us who are introverts.
We know we have been charged to share the good news with others but often times, we are held back.
And we feel the pressure when we are not "obeying" the command to "evangelise".
Perhaps we need some tools.
Or perhaps this is best left to those who are more charismatic.
Those people-oriented influencers.
But "Our relationship with God influences the way we live. Scripture shows that we have the responsibility to make God known in this world, but this cannot be done without us first knowing and enjoying God, delighting in Him," say Reeves and Hames.
And isn't that so true?
Even the most introverted of us can't help but share of the best kept secret in town with those we care about.
We're always ready and happy to recommend the most reliable employment agency, the best cardiologist, or the most popular food court in town.
Because we have experienced how good they are and we want our loved one to also benefit from the experience.
So we share the "good news" - in our own introverted way.

We don't need scripts.
Yet the spark of enthusiasm flows through unmistakably.
So gaze upon the LORD.
Know Him in all His Beauty and Splendour and let Him Shine Forth through your life!
"This book is an invitation to start again at the beginning with your vision of God. Our aim is to set before your eyes God as he truly is: God who is so full of life and goodness that he loves to be known; not as a campaign to impose himself on us or on the world but to give himself and share his own life with the world."
