Tete-a-Tete






Miguel and I work together and oftentimes we would both engage ourselves in a little colloquy about anything under the sun. He thinks that I am an intersesting person to converse with. Today, of all the topics in the world we discussed about religion he claims to believe in a Supreme Being but thinks it is crazy to believe in Jesus being the Son of God who gave His life for the sins of men. He asked me point blank if I believed that Jesus is the Son of God my initial thought was that I should rather err in the side of caution as I did not want to engage in a debate with Miguel certainly not in the middle of work. But instead, I looked at him straight in the eye and said "yes I believe that Jesus is the Son of God". He thought this was crazy but I just gradually and gently spoke about my not being religious yet maintaining a personal relationship with God. I have not gone full circle with Miguel and it is going to be an uphill battle (it's gonna take a lot of work I would imagine). But I know that God ordained that moment perhaps to plant a seed. Please pray for Miguel that he may know Jesus in a personal way and pray for me that I may be able to go beyond just telling him that I believe that Jesus is the Son of God but that I could explain with love and eagerness why I hold this position and then proceed to minister to Miguel and share the joy that I have inside because of having a personal relationship with Jesus.


I am the way the truth and the life no one else can come to the Father except through me.


John 14:6
