You are the channel of God !

"When Jesus came to this place, he lifted up his eyes and said to him : Zacchaeus, hurry down ; because I have to stay in your house today. Zacchaeus hastened down, and received him with joy. Seeing this, all murmured, and said : He went to lodge with a sinful man" (Luke 19: 5-7).

I hope you could have planned a date. Find someone, invite them, and schedule a date. I have neighbors, and I have already invited them 4 times in 18 months, but they have always refused. I learned that for more than 15 years they have lived there, they have never spoken to my other neighbor. Suffice to say that they are shy or not talkative! But I talked to them, we talked several times and I had the opportunity to pray for them. And I know that soon, very soon, we will have the opportunity to have them at our table so that we can get to know them better.

In some cities, people do not talk to each other. There are neighbors who never speak to each other. We must not look like them. We should be excellent communicators, not because we have read books or studies about it, but simply because we are driven by love, because we are the light of the world, the salt of the earth and ambassadors for Christ ! If we accept what we are in Christ, then we will be able to manifest it more and more.

"We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, as if God were exhorting through us ; we beseech you in the name of Christ : be reconciled to God! (2 Corinthians 5:20) God wants to pass through our mouth because we are the channel through which God wants and will pass to talk to them. So, let us be docile, be inspired, be determined to speak with clarity, sweetness and love.

Find someone, invite them, plan a date and add your sweet smell to your meal !
