People have said to me before, \u201cLuis, I could never be an evangelist. I\u2019m too shy.\u201d Maybe this sounds likes you. God makes us all different. Some of us are loud talkers, and others are quiet. Some are quick to speak, and others are more cautious. Some of us like to mingle in a crowd, and others would like to be in the back of the room, serving the cake. That\u2019s wonderful! God\u2019s kingdom needs all sorts of people. But just because some of Christ\u2019s followers don\u2019t talk much doesn\u2019t mean that they are not meant to evangelize; that is, share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We share God\u2019s love in many more ways than just our words. In fact, our words will mean little if we do not back them up with the testimony of how we live our lives and treat other people. First John says, \u201cLet us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.\u201d This isn\u2019t saying that talk is bad. It\u2019s just saying that actions speak as loud as words, especially if we are the type of people to use action to communicate more often than we do words. So, if you\u2019re quiet and shy, God still needs you to spread His Good News. You can do this by serving the people in your world, and loving those who need His love. Then, when someone asks why you are different, God will give you the words and courage to share the gospel with both your words and your deeds. This is Luis Palau.
