Opportunity

So today, I got a chance to share about God's Word in school but it ended up into a small failure. 

So basically, I have this small white cloth around my ankle, which serves as a reminder that Jesus Christ died and washed away our sins. (We got this thing in some altar call at a mission trip, so we all put it around our backpacks, wrist, ankles). It was in the locker room after working out and some skinny small dude comes up to me and asked what the is the point of having a small cloth around my ankle, or what did it mean. So I explained it to him, trying to make it simple so he could understand, but he just sat there quietly. He has heard of the story of Jesus Christ coming to save us from our sins but he didn't really believe, or understood the concept of it. He told me he didn't go to church and he's not a christian. I sat there, trying to think of something, something to say

"Hey, we have a youth thing every friday night..."

"You wanna know more about Him?...."

ALL these things to say. BUT, I just sat there, quietly while he was just changing back to his school clothes. I guess honestly I was super DUPER scared but I mean, I had told people about Christ, just not by myself. Before I could think, before I could say anything the bell rings and we all just left.

I got so mad at myself...thinking..."I just lost the opportunity to share God's Word with something. An opportunity that could've changed him. Save Him."

I guess I have another chance, but who knows when you know?

My discipler told me once:

If you just make a fool out of yourself for just a few seconds, you can have the chance of letting them spend eternity with Christ forever....

or something like that.

¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

~Matthew 28:18-20
