GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Today's reading: Acts 21-22

"Aren't you the Egyptian who led a rebellion some time ago and took four thousand members of the Assassins out into the desert? No, Paul replied, I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cicilia, which is an important city..." Acts 21:38-39 NLT

Mistaken identities. Wrong information. Gossip. Hearsay.

How many people, people we're called to witness to each day, do we make assumptions about, depend upon the reports of others or write off an unaproachable becaues of how they look, act or even smell?

Oh, don't tell me you're too busy to get to know them. That's an excuse. And you know what an 'excuse' is, don't you? An excuse is a lie with a reason attached.

How about making the time to find out something positive about someone? Take the time to ask them about themselves? Go out of your way to find out just who they really are?

It's the best way to open the door for witnessing!
