When one does this even marginally it brings questions from those around. I am considered 'different' on my job. Not untouchable or stuck up but also not someone who can be sucked in to whatever discontent is going on in the moment. When those I am close to here (and that is all 50 other employees)have a problem they will often come into my office, close the door and ask for help of some kind or for prayer. These moments are an opertunity to share WHO is really our help and how to reach Him. Of course my POV about details is not important in those moments... simply getting them in touch with the God of the universe is  And to me THAT is being a witness.
I am but one small person but there are many of me and we grow others like us every day.... and God smiles. |
This is pretty much how I have come to define witnessing during the past decade. However it took a while because the concept of "Soul Winning" where everyone talked about how "I won this person" or "that person" or "the other person" to Jesus. In many cases I couldn't help but think that God looked at THOSE bed posts notches in the same way he looked at mine -In fact He probably looks at that sort of boasting WORSE then he looked at my "bragging". Wing wink nudge nudge say more.
