I've been trying to explain the Word and Christianity and all that to a nonbelieving friend lately. They've been asking me questions lately, which is encouraging. But today, they were telling me about someone they met who they feel could answer their questions much better than I can. I asked if they thought what I had been telling them seemed logical; they said no.
Ouch. As someone who's struggled for years to make sure what I believe makes sense and to be able to understand and communicate the reasons for why I believe, this was like a punch in the gut for me. Honestly I've been feeling discouraged after that. But I suppose I should take this as a humbling occasion that convicts me to improve the way I communicate the Word.
I praise God that this nonbelieving friend of mine is continuing to ask questions and investigate Christianity, and I ask for prayer that God will continue to reveal Himself to my friend, whether it's through me, the new person they met, or anyone or anything else. And I pray that I will continue to grow and improve spiritually as well so that I can effectively communicate the reasons for my belief.
