I desire to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.
I proclaim righteousness in the assembly;
I do not seal my lips, as you know, O Lord.
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
I speak your faithfulness and salvation.
I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
Psalm 40: 8-10This should be our desire to proclaim the love of God to everyone. To use our skills our talents and abilities to tell the world about Jesus. Even if that world is just the people we work with or the person next door.
The salvation message is not one to be held secretly in our heart. It is to be told to all who will listen.
We shouldn’t force it on anyone but we should be willing to be a witness for Christ at any time in word and deed.
People should know we are Christians by the way we live and act.
Francis of Assisi said,
“Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”

Quite often I’ve found that the way we act in both word and deed around none Christians sends a message to those around us about our faith in Christ be it positive or negative.
We need to be aware of this and make sure our actions are always showing our faith in the best possible way.
Think about it.
