What Matters?

It does not take long to figure out what matters to someone. Someone's conversations, time, interpretations, money, and so forth all tell what has value in someone's life.

Once I know what matters to someone, it is one hundred percent easier to share with them how that passion fits into a bigger picture: God's Kingdom. Not only is a conversation no longer forced but usually someone is more receptive to hearing about Christ when what is important to him or her is also important to God.

I have found that I neglect doing this on a regular basis. Every day I have what seems like a million times where I talk to someone about something that matters to him or her and every day I just listen and say no more.

So this leads me to one more thought....

So, what would people say matters to me? If you asked me directly, I would easily say my relationship with Christ, glorifying God and living in and sharing the kingdom of God. But, if someone didn't ask me directly, would they come to the same conclusion?

It is is my goal to speak and live boldly, each and every day.
