Normal

In the book "Sold Out" it talks about the way we communicate. About how me as a man more specifically communicate. How the topics I chose, as most men do, are about the weather, sports, work, movies, music, etc.... Nothing deep.

In this book he brings up a great point. The conversations I tend to have seem normal. But what he says next blew me away.....

He says "bring up Jesus" and the conversation tends to take a turn. If you ask what is Jesus teaching you, or what is Jesus talking to you about or How are you making Jesus more apart of your life, then the conversation seems to end quickly... Why is it we can talk sports all night, we can talk about how bad the weather man is wrong, our new favorite band and/or song, but the minute we bring Jesus to front of the conversation we find it hard to talk five minutes about HIM.

The conversation of Jesus is what should become normal. It should be the first thing we talk about. It shouldn't be hard to talk about how God has changed me live or what God is doing in my life or where I feel God is leading me or where my fears are that I need God to help me with. I have enough to fill up this blog.....

I don't think Jesus should be the first thing out of my mouth to someone who doesn't believe, but I do think I should share how important HE is to me...

God help me make you a normal conversational topic, help me share how wonderful you are and how faithful you are when we share YOU to others. God I want to be normal in the eyes of YOU and not in the eyes of the world. Amen.
