For more than a week this area has been running rampant with roof repair salespeople. This sudden increase was due to the tennis ball sized hail that we received. Obviously, as a result, roofs will be greatly affected. Therefore, I’ve had at least three people stop by my door just hoping for the opportunity to make some money.
Because of the short-lived storm, these salespeople, all from out of town, saw opportunities everywhere they turned. This brings us to this week’s quote…
An enthusiastic heart sees opportunity everywhere. ~ Joe Simmons, aka “Rev Run
These people are enthusiastic about making some money. They have definite incentives. However, don’t Christians also have a very similar incentive? Getting to heaven and taking as many with them as possible. Looking around and seeing the “fields” that are “white” for harvest is something many Christians tend to miss.
Why? We aren’t looking. If we do try to look we’re often trying the hard approach, the “quick sale” approach. We aren’t trying the “sow seed and let God work” approach.
If you are at all excited about your faith, this is a wake up to see the opportunities that are all around you. Ways for you to be there for someone, even when they do not realize they need to be a part of your faith.
Faith is catchy, make it enthusiastic and see the opportunities that are everywhere you look…don’t forget to do the looking!
