Pointing to Jesus

I had a unique opportunity yesterday to speak with someone I had not spoken to for a long time. Within that time this person had lost their son in a terrible tragedy and therefore has been struggling with depression, daily. I don't think she is a Christian, but I don't think she is against believeing in God. The only reason why I know this is because in my conversation with her yesterday the Lord was tugging at me to ask her if she had a relationship with the Lord.
For whatever reasons I never ended up asking her and just stood there praying for her as we were talking. Our discussion was hard as I listened I heard her spirit cry out for something, anything to keep her going. She told me she didn't have much more to live for. It was also in this moment that I was confused, hurting for her and scared all at the same time. Of course our situation wasn't ideal for me to mention Christ or what He had done for her ( a soccer game of course) but when is it ever the right time?
I went home that day wondering why I had not mentioned Jesus' name, or even asked her where she stood in her faith, or if she even had any. I prayed about it and gracefully the Lord has taught me something profound through this situation.
He told me that as a believer in His Son, I will be given the job of pointing toward Jesus daily. That many opportunities will arise for me to share my faith and give someone else the opportunity to accept Him. It was in this that it became more visible as to why God even uses me. He longs to use us and each day He tries to use us, but it's ultimately our decision to say "yes" today I will accept the mission I have been given. Today I will share You with others and not keep you hidden. The Lord told me that my faith is not judged, nor is it measured by whether or not I told that lady yesterday about Jesus. He told me that He doesn't love me any less either. He did say that in order for me to grow deeper with Him I will eventually need to obey and know that He is speaking. That in those moments that I hear His still small voice, I will choose to speak and not remain silent.
This small but profound moment, causes me to choose to be BOLD! I choose today to share Jesus where needed. I will continue to look to Jesus in order to be prepared for the people He may give into my life to share His Son with.
