When you encounter another person, when you have dealings with anyone at all, it is as if a question is being put to you.

About This Quote

Having to think about what the Lord is asking of you in a moment like that is a life changing experience. If we live our lives based on what we believe the Lord would want us to do, we will always be making the right choice. The great thing about the Christian faith is that we do not have to figure out what God would want for ourselves, we simply need to know He would want us to be obedient. It’s not hard – we just need to ask ourselves – what does God want me to do in this situation?
