Why Oh Why

Why oh why do I have this fear? I haven't been out in a long time.

The Lord wants us to seek and save that which is lost. I know what I am suposed to do. But doing it is a different story.

I feel for those who are on there way to Hell and do not know it. I also am extremely saddened for those who are going to Hell on there own choice of not believing in the gracious Saviour Jesus Christ.

Whenever i go to hand out a tract I freeze. I have fought through the fear but it is so hard. I pray before I go and I ask the Lord to give me His strength. For When I am weak then I am strong.

I have been told that this is a sense of pride. It is a pride issue caused by wanting people to like me and not to reject me. But I know that they will hate me cause they first hated Him.

I also know that I am as much a wretch as those I am wanting to share Jesus with. I am no better then anyone. I am just better off.

My tongue also freezes and even when I manage to accually break that fear and accualy witness to a person. I stutter and my mind goes completely blank.

I'm supposed to be motivated by love and I thought I was. But I read that perfect love casts out all fear.

I pray for the strength and the time to go witnessing to the Lost world.

If you have the same problems please send a comment maybe we can encourage each other.

Love in Christ Jesus

Just a Thought.

Its been a while since I have posted anything. I have been witnessinga couple times since my last post. I have went with my two middle children one time each. Both times was fun cause we watched people attack us for tracks and pass out a hundred tracks in 20 minutes. But the last time I went i went with my youngest daughter. She was able to see that there are people that are in a lot worse condition then she has noticed before. This was her first encounter with a person that was a drug addict and a drunk. It was sad and she didn't say much but you could tell she was thinking. Also this was her only encounter with a homeless person. She seemed really concerned for this poor lady that couldn't help herself.
We were able to present the Gospel to both people the drug addict's name was Anthony and the homeless lady was named Patricia. I hope someone can pray for these two people that listened and reason out the Gospel. Neither person was very interested in repenting from there sins that day but they did realize that if they were to die that they were heading to Hell. It was there concern for Hell that I shared the Gospel otherwise I would not have.
As the Good Lord says not to toss your pearls before the swine (Matthew 7) Keep up the courage and seek the Lord God. He will give you someone to witness too. He doesn't want any to go to Hell He died so All may be saved. (John 3:16) If you find yourself scared stiff to witness to someone put a Gospel Tract in the envelope you are sending out. Everyone needs to hear the good news before time runs out and we are all standing before the Lord. Remember when we go to Heaven we will never be able to say I wish I told less people about Jesus. But we will all be able to say I wish I had spoken to more people. It is as Mark Cahill wrote There is only one thing you can do now that you can not do in Heaven and that is tell others about Jesus and the Cross.
