Back in 1995, when I first arrived in London, I decided to love the people of that city.
It wasn't easy, but I loved them anyway. Every time I took the Tube or drove the church's car, I'd notice a sadness I had never seen before. Their moods were somehow linked to their weather - always cloudy.
One day, as I was stuck in traffic with my husband, I noticed this young woman seated at a street corner begging for money. I prayed for her but a voice inside of me said 'go up to her and give her a leaflet about the church'. I filled myself with an unknown courage, opened the door of the car in the middle of the road, and went up to her.
She was surprised at my reaction and by this time probably the whole street too, but I didn't really have the courage to look around. I gave her the leaflet and said 'God can take you out of this situation, give Him a chance.'
But she shouted 'Get out of here!' and threw the leaflet out in the street.
I went back to the car looking down all the way. From then on, I loved Londoners even more. They needed all the love they could get.
It's a Don't-tell-me-about-God society and why? Because it's a Liberal one. USA, beware.

AA few weeks ago I heard the same warning from our pastor Skip Heitzig at the church I fellowship at in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You can visit it online at: www.calvaryabq.org
Do you have any personal testimony that you would like to share on the blog I administer www.PowerUpLove.com
That's where the famous verse comes in:
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature".
"Love your neighbor as yourself".
very interesting
