What are you going to talk about when you meet fiends? Well, that is a pretty easy question to answer. You are going to catch up. You are going to talk about the things you love, the things you have in common and what is new in your lives.
What are you going to talk to strangers about? Well, often these conversations have to do what is right now, or it might be something that connected you where you are in the moment. That would be something like at the store or maybe the shirt they are wearing.
What you talk about is often what you think about the most, and I suggest that we ought to be talking about what matters most in your lives. And what I believe what ought to matter most is God, faith and what lasts. Think about it.
Colossians 3:2 NIV
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
When you find the things you loved talked about, make sure the things you love really matter. I often talk about my family, our kids or the grand kids. Yet I also decide to talk about Jesus and faith.
May our conversations lead others to think about what matters most. And may what matters most be what lasts the longest, or even forever.
1 Peter 3:15 NIV
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
