Interupting

The other day, on my way to do an errand I sent up a little prayer "Lord, if you want me to share about you with these people today, please grant me an opportunity." I went into an office with 3 ladies there. One of them distractedly fulfilled my request, while continuing her very active conversation with the others. Walking home, I felt a bit disappointed about not having an opportunity to share there. I mean, it would have been rude to interrupt, right? In this case, I think that yes, it would have been rude, but it got me thinking about sharing God's truth with people in general. Oftentimes, we are absolutely interrupting someones life when we share about Christ with them. We are interrupting their worldview, their convictions and their values with ones that are shocking, contrary or offensive to those to which they hold. May God give us sensitivity to know when and how to interrupt people's lives with the gospel. I thank God that He interrupted mine.
