Proverbs 11:30
It's a long time since I did a blog post, but here is something I have been mulling over lately. I hope it helps someone. In life it is really important to get on with others well. There are some people who have a real natural ability to do this and others have had training in the workplace. To win souls actually means to win over peoples hearts, minds and emotions. It is about winning friends. Whether you are involved in a project or have a ministry, you need people onside, working with you and routing for you. The Bible states that if we are able to get people on board with us, we are wise. How do we win with people? Simple things like smiling, putting yourself in the shoes of the other person, making them feel comfortable in your space, seeking to understand rather than to be understood and shining the spotlight on the person you are talking with. People skills are really important! Jesus taught that we are to love others as we love ourselves. I am still learning and for those of us who might be socially shy, this is a real challenge.
Enjoy today and while you are waiting for your dreams to come true, invest into someone else's - even if it is in a small way!
