“ Whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him . ” ​ — HEB . I think that God is much more interested if we are loving to our neighbor than whatever speechs we make. The woman instrumental in my conversion was extremely loving and she would always give credit to God, but she would always just discuss it as something that she regularly draws on. BUT, the big influencer was how loving she was. In my former life as an agnostic, people’s words had essentially no impact on me. It was their actions. How loving they were, how compassionate, how accepting. I wear a Cross on a really short chain. (Funny story. I ordered a longer chain in the mail so that my Cross would be hidden so that I wouldn’t “offend”. The Cross that arrived in the mail “mistakenly” was shorter than what I’d had before! Got the message Lord!) So I wear that short chain and EVERYONE can see my Cross all the time. But the big question now is, am I loving. Do I treat everyone as a beloved child of God? We deny Jesus by ignoring the hungry, the prisoner, the homeless. Jesus said clean the inside of the cup and the rest will take care if itself. He didn’t like people making long prayers to seem Holier than Thou. If we have Christ’s love in our hearts and perform loving deeds, we are proclaiming Jesus
