Smile! You're on Camera!

Smiling might possibly be the easiest way to share the gospel with someone. Wait, yes you can share the gospel with people with only a smile. When we smile, we are sharing God's light and our joy in him with others. If someone was sharing the gospel with me while pouting and glaring, it would probably put me off and I would wonder just how great their God really is if they are so unhappy. 2 Corinthians 4:6, "For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the faith of Christ."

We are supposed to show others through our actions that we are followers of Christ and be living examples for Him. How can we expect someone to be sweet, nice, and personal, if we are not as well? How is someone supposed to know we are Chistian's if we do not act like Christ. Jesus didn't go around frowning while sharing the gospel, instead His friendly behavior attracted even the non-believers to Him. They knew He was different, and when people look at us, they should also see a difference. They should see Jesus shining out of us.

I am so guilty of this. I get so caught up in my issues, my anger, or my pouting, that I do not smile, in fact, I look completely put out with the world. This attitude of mine is not showing other people Jesus' love.

When someone sees us smiling and sharing our joy in Christ, they realize we are different then everyone else and get curious. Maybe it will even cause them to find out what our joy is all about. Smiling can be an amazing way of sharing the gospel because it shows them, not just tells them, what are God is really about.
