"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Jesus is always with us, so what are we always so afraid of? Offending someone? Not being politically correct? Not having enough knowledge?

God promises that He is with us! If we truly believe that He is who He promises to be then we have no reason to fear sharing with others about Jesus. He will give us the words we need to share and the strength and boldness to do so.

Romans 14:8
"For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s."

This is so simple. We belong to Christ, so whatever we do, we should do it to the honor and glory of God. We live and die for Him!

Romans 12:3

" For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned."

Isaiah 58:6-10
"'Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? 'Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? 'Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your recovery will speedily spring forth; And your righteousness will go before you; The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. 'Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; You will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am ' If you remove the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, And if you give yourself to the hungry And satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness And your gloom will become like midday."

*Basically don't be selfish...the world doesn't revolve around ourselves primarily. Let Jesus take our burdens and concerns and He will fill us with strength, love, patience, etc and lead the way.
