REAL POWER!
Sometimes I feel a complete inability to reach out to my non-christian friends with the gospel. Often I am just overwhelmed by the knowledge that they have set ideas about the world, a defined lifestyle and established priorities. I wonder whether it is possible that anything could change their hearts. I run out of arguments, they get angry or offended... After one such week, my bible study group highlighted this verse, "...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you
will be my witnesses..." (Acts 1:8). When it comes down to it, I just need to remind myself of who has sent me, and who it is that goes with me. Will not the Almighty achieve his aims?
