Conveying the Gospel

Hey y’all! Thanks for dropping by Little Things and Sunshine! The WordPress Daily Prompt for today is “Conveyor”. What does it mean to convey? The Merriam-Webster dictionary says, “A: to bear from one place to another; especially: to move in a continuous stream or mass. B: to impart or communicate by statement, suggestion, tester, or appearance.” Today I want to focus on how this word “convey” relates to how we share the Gospel.

In the routine of day-to-day, it is so easy to brush someone off or skip out on fellowship. I know that I really struggle with avoiding people when I get busy. Its just so much easier to stay home and hide lol. But that’s not what Christians are supposed to do. We should, not only have direct conversations with people about Christ, but also convey His love on a daily basis. Its the small words of encouragement to a co-worker or the way you greet the barista at Starbucks that can make their day so much better. Look forward to these seemingly “small” opportunities! They are just as important as the big mission trips and deep conversations. By conveying the Gospel through the little things, we already have a head start on the big opportunities. Only God can plant the seed in the hearts of the lost. Pray that He would give you the strength to convey His truth throughout your day. Let’s be conveyors of the Good News.

“Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven”

(Matthew 5:15–16, NIV)

Thanks for stopping by! What are your thoughts on conveying the Gospel? Let me know in the comments below:)

Quick Quotes~ “If it is right, it happens – The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.” – John Steinbeck

Happy Monday y’all and thanks for stopping by! Today’s Daily Prompt was “Zip”. As soon as I read that word, it was obvious what I should share with you guys.

“If it is right it happens – The main thing is not to hurry, Nothing good gets away.” –

John Steinbeck 

Hurrying, rushing, zipping. Those are probably some of the words that characterize your daily routine. Well congratulations you are officially normal lol. Modern day culture is so rushed. We zip around in our cars, rushing to school, to work, and back home everyday. Let me encourage you to start being abnormal. Take time to rest, pray, and depend on the One Who Holds Tomorrow. It is so easy to get caught up in the zipper of life and forget to look around. Don’t get caught. Take time to look around and remember that what’s important will still be there when you continue forward. Have faith and remember that “If it is right it happens.” 

Have a blessed week!

Quick Quotes~ “Be an encourager. The world has plenty of critics already.”- Dave Willis

 

“Be an encourager. The world has plenty of critics already.”- David Willis 

    Hey there! Welcome to Quick Quotes at the Little Things and Sunshine blog:)

Today’s quote is about criticism. Society is full of criticism. It’s literally everywhere! You face it at work, at school,… and the list goes on. This David Willis quote, “Be an encourager. The world has plenty of critics already,” is something that we all should take into account. So what does being an encourager mean? Being an encourager can mean being supportive of other’s dreams and goals or just having something positive and truthful to say. I challenge you to be a positive influence in the lives of others and to be encouraging, because the world is full of so many critics.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Dare to be encouraging;)

Quick Quotes~ “Life Is Really Simple, But We Insist On Making It Complicated”- Confucius

Welcome to Quick Quotes! (To access the last post in this series click here🙂

Today I wanted to talk about living simple. The whole “minimalist” idea has become a fad for our wardrobe and home, but what about our hearts and the way we respond to everyday situations?

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”- Confucius

We make such a big out of EVERYTHING. Things that are supposed to be so simple can be made complicated very quickly.  Drama is something that consumes life. Imagine how much simpler life would be if we just calmed down. We’ve all had that situation that was so stressful at the time, but as we look back we can see all of the drama that could have been avoided. I challenge you this week to take these words of Confucius to heart, “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” Not every situation deserves a response. Not every comment has to have a reply. Let’s simplify our lives by first simplify our hearts. Take a self inventory and think about what truly matters. Think about how you can apply simplicity to your life and actions. Let’s be simple.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s quote! Have a great day and dare to enjoy the little things and sunshine:)
