To think, it's hard to grow in favour with men when you're Jesus.

Imagine yourself going around telling people, "I am the Christ, the Son of the Living God."

More people will give you the fist than the favour.

It's the same when you try to share about God to your friends.

"Jesus? I'm not interested..."

"God speaks to you? I don't know but I think you're weird..."

"If God is real, then why..."

Not easy, huh? Understood.

But don't see evangelism as something weird and irritating.

Christianity is attractive.

Sometimes we find it hard to be a Christian when we're with your friends.

Look to Jesus, He was being God with His, and still the Bible says He had favour with them.

How? His love for people... that when He saw the lost, He was moved with compassion as they were like sheep having no shepherd (Matthew 9:36).

Our relationship with God might appear spooky to some people.

Most people will avoid weird and spooky stuff, and they will prefer to stay logical and real.

But we know God isn't weird, and so aren't we.

The key to still have favour with our families and friends is simply love.

Favour is not an authority. Favour comes only on one condition: When there is love.

You will have favour with anyone if you're willing to love.

And it's so easy to lose the whole chain when one level isn't present.

Or when we try to rush in without following the order.

Isn't it sad when relationships end like that?

Forget arguments. Forget explaining why God is real even when bla bla bla.

Focus on what everyone needs. LOVE!

Which step are you at now?

Don't break it. Don't rush it.

Or you'll have to start over.

But well, don't give up. :)
