God, can I love like you?

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

“Be friendly with everyone. Don't be proud and feel that you are smarter than others. Make friends with ordinary people.” (Romans 12:16 CEV)

Win people to Christ—share the gospel to share in the blessing of when people come to Christ (1 Corinthians 9:22-23). Finding common ground is an act of friendship; it guides us to look for the positive instead of the negative in those outside the faith. When Jesus met the woman at the well, he pointed to what they had in common rather than the things he could condemn (John 4). As a result, she not only became friends with God; she also brought her friends and family into the presence of Jesus.
