thanks everyone GOD BLESS~Victoria

thanks homie ... the guy that spoke today gave me some advice. and i'll take it into the world and use it! God Bless~Victoria

My Dear Young Sister,

Of course pray... but, just like you talk about someone you love and respect.  Do the same, when you are talking about God. 

Tell your friend, what "He" has done for you.  You don't always have to have BIG WORDS, just express yourself, using that great big smile that God gave you.

Say it with excitement...How God saved you, came into your life, how He makes you feel.   Your friend can have it too... that same feeling... PLUS, HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

Ask yourself, when I talk about my mom or dad or relative or teacher or boyfriend...someone whom I really love and respect:   DO I DESCRIBE HIM/HER WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE AND SUCH EXCITEMENT ?  You talk about them that way, because you love them, they have helped you in some way,  they have always been there for you... ISN'T THAT A GREAT FEELING ?

Tell your friend about God using that same way...with such excitement.  If she still doesn't want to accept, don't get too disappointed, just keep praying and be God's example for her. 

God "WILL" answer your prayer...

God will give you the words, strength, and the love to express toward your friend. 

I will pray and continue to pray for you.

Your Brother In Christ,

Jesse

I totally agree with what Jesse said - you don't need big fancy words - just be yourself and let the love of God shine thru you.  He will give you the words to use and give you the strength to do what you need to do.  I'll be praying keep us updated.

Love & Prayers Ruthie

Just keep living it in front of her.  That's the best thing to do.  Keep praying for her no matter what, cause remember we were all there before and God never gave up on us no matter what we did. I will deff. be praying for you and your friend. God Bless

HI SWEETIE, THIS IS GOING TO SOUND KINDA CRAZY BUT I HOPE IT HELPS.

WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU WANT TO LEAD TO GOD YOU HAVE TO GO SLOW, TELLING HER AND EXPLAINING TO HER/HIM ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN YOUR CHURCH, SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WILL NOT UNDERSTAND AND IT COULD SCARE THEM. YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE GOD TO HER SLOWLY, I SAY WITH A EYE DROPPER A LITTLE AT A TIME. JUST BE TALKING AND SNEAK THE SUBJECT OF GOD IN LIKE TELL HER ABOUT NICE THINGS YOU DID IN SUNDAY SCHOOL, GET HER INTRESTED. EVERY TIME YOU TALK TO HER SNEAK IN A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR CHURCH. GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE WORDS TO TELL HER.  THEN MAYBE WHEN YOUR CHURCH HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL GOING ON INVITE HER. DON'T GIVE UP, IT COULD TAKE AWHILE,  THE MORE YOU TELL HER THE MORE SHE WILL BE INTRESTED AND ALSO SHE WILL GO TO HER PARENTS AND TELL THEM. IT CAN BE LIKE A CHAIN REACTION. YOU TELLING HER INTRESTING STUFF AND SHE SHARES WITH HER PARENTS, THAT IS GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT GOD AND JESUS.  IT SOUNDS CRAZY BUT A LITTLE AT A TIME WORKS.  IF YOU FORCE IT ON HER SHE WILL BACK AWAY CAUSE IF SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO PUSH SOMETHING ON YOU YOU WOULD FEEL UNEASY RIGHT, SO DO IT REAL EASY. MAKE IT EXCITING. AND SHE WILL COME TO YOU AND SAY TELL ME MORE.

YOU ARE A GOOD GIRL, I AM PROUD OF YOU.  BETTY

JUST BE YOURSELF SWEETIE AND GOD WILL SHINE THREW YOU!!!  BE HER FRIEND AND LOVE HER  AND OF COURSE PRAY FOR HER!!!  TRY NOT TO BE JUSTMENTAL AND GO A STEP AT A TIME!!!  I BELIVE SHE WILL SEE THE GLORY OF GOD IN YOU AND WHAT TO KNOW MORE!!!  PEOPLE WHO HAVE A VERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST SHINE WITH JOY AND EVENTUALLY OTHERS WILL WHAT TO KNOW WHERE THAT JOY COMES FROM!!!!  AND YOU WILL BE THERE TO TELL THEM!!!

GOD BLESS YOU SWEETIE!!  YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ARE IN MY PRAYERS!!          ALWAYS PEGGY~~~~~ 

I think you should watch the way of the master.... It has opened a few of my friends eyes.

Sweetie take the awesome advice above-Know this...

As you live accordinaly in God's word-It'll be revealed for her eyes to see-The seed will be planted for the Lord does the work through you-(your a vessel of the Lord.)

Sometimes this seed takes time- as it's also the individuals choice to receive the Lord or not.

 Note:--The Lord knows your heart- as well as your prayers-A prayer that goes up is always answered in God's timing not ours.

 Note:--Don't fret over what to say--Example...I never know what to say, but as the Lord leads me-The words come naturally.

Be patient my Friend...Be still and know The Lord Loves you and your Friend too.

The Lord comes for the lost-Always remember that.

Your a special person with a huge heart of Love-Your Friend is Blessed for having You. I came to know the Lord by a Friend like yourself- that The Lord gave me. 

Love,

April
