Pray That I May Proclaim It Clearly

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Colossians 4:2-6

We should proclaim the importance of Jesus Christ in our lives. How can we interest others in our own story of Christ? Make it attractive to them. Show them the difference it has made in our own lives. We are told to, “be wise” in how we act towards others. Take that to heart.

If we show kindness, love, and compassion to others, those who observe us will wonder why, and that may give us an opening to tell them about the beauty of God’s love for them.

The beauty of a changed life can attract others to the One who makes us beautiful.
