\u00a0I Peter 3:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week I received a call from a young woman whose sister was attending church camp. She had lost directions to the camp in order to have someone pick up her sister at the designated time.<\/p>\n

I went on line and was pleasantly surprised to discover detailed directions to the camp. I called the young woman back and told her I had found the directions. I started reading the directions to her and she had to stop me several times to be able to write them down. I kept suggesting that she simply go on line and follow the directions that were clearly given.<\/p>\n

I am sure her sister was given a ride home since I never heard back from them. But it started me thinking about the incident. What spiritual applications could I make from what had just happened?<\/p>\n

Are we adequately prepared to give people the directions to heaven when they ask? It seems like a simple question, but stop and think about it. If someone approached you and said they wanted directions in order to get to heaven, what would you do?<\/p>\n

Sadly, many would be at a loss for words. Others would tell the inquirer to go talk to the pastor or some other spiritual leader. But the fact is that you may be their only hope. I urge you to make it a high priority to learn how to share your faith and be able to give such clear direction that they will accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
