Going Places

DAY 24 OF 28

You can tell people about water by explaining how hydrogen reacts with oxygen, or you can just describe how powerful a waterfall is. You can tell people about the night sky by explaining that space is full of burning balls of gaseous clouds, or you can just describe to them the beauty of stars. You can tell them about how the earth's crust buckles into piles of exposed bedrock, or you can just tell them how amazing mountains are.

We know the best way to tell people about nature is to describe what it's like and what we've seen. That is way more effective than breaking it down scientifically. The best way to tell people about something amazing isn't to lecture them about it. It's to tell a story about what it's like to experience it.

That's true with God, too. In the Bible, Jesus told his followers to tell others about what God had done in their lives. You don't have to have the answers to every single thing about what God is like or how the Bible was written. You can tell your friends how you've seen God work in your life, what you're praying for, and why the Bible matters to you.

When something is important to you, you tell your friends about it. And if your friends care about you, they'll listen to you — even if they don't necessarily believe in God. You can tell your friends about your experience with God because it's part of your life.

And what do you do if you feel like your friendships aren't everything you'd want them to be?
