The best way to witness for Christ is to be more concerned about our own faith than the lack of it in
someone else’s life. By spending time in God’s presence daily we will become more like Christ; more
yielded and filled with the Holy Spirit. If we are following the Spirit’s guidance, He will lead us
into opportunities in which Christ’s love and light will flow through us to another person who doesn't
know Him. We should pray for God to open doors and provide settings in which a person hungry for spiritual
life (prepared by the Spirit) is ready to receive what Christ might give him through us in that moment.
It may be just a seed, or it may be water on a seed planted earlier. Or we may have the privilege of seeing
the harvest as a person steps out in faith to embrace Christ. Someone once said that being an effective
witness for Christ means sharing Christ’s love in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to
God. In that spirit, the best way to prepare to be a witness for Christ is by getting to know Him better
and being guided and empowered by His Spirit on a moment-by-moment basis. The more faithful we are to Him,
the more clearly others can see Him through our lives.
