Acts Seventeen

"When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, "We want to hear you again on this subject."
-----Acts 17:32

Paul's discussion in Athens is relevant for our lives. As he speaks about God and the story of Jesus, his words fall on a mixed crowd. So many times in life we wish that conversion would be immediate. But anyone that has invested in the life of another knows, it is a process. Paul received criticism, curiosity and praise. The same applies for us in our attempts to help people see Jesus in us. What is important to remember is that it is God who saves not man. We are given the opportunity to plant seeds and reflect love. God is the one that ultimately brings people to Him.

Today, I will choose love with the people I encounter.

Heart and Soul,
