Exodus 30-32; Acts 8

Acts 8: 34-35 The eunuch said, "Tell me, who is the prophet talking about: himself or some other?" Philip grabbed his chance. Using this passage as his text, he preached Jesus to him.

preached Jesus.....

I point people to You, Abba but not sure I preach Jesus?
Dan and I in our morning conversations always talk about and end up awed through the reading at what Jesus did for us, but do I in the conversations of the day, look for opps to 'preach Jesus'??
What would that look like? Indicative of the whole of my journey and my lack of 'convictions' that I don't?
More and more our conversations of a morning are nothing but tears at what Jesus did, why doesn't that carry into my day??
What if I entered the day prayerfully, looking for moments for those conversations?
I am afraid I would become PREACHY, I have in the past w/much less experience w/the Word and now.....now all those fears have made me afraid of ruining even more relationships....so... what I continue to worship instead of You is what people think of me??
Not sure about that.....definitely a tendency I need to watch, always... be aware of BUT more and more I simply, truly do want others to KNOW You, Your Son, be led by, in their dependence on Christ, Your Spirit...so ' tell others what I did for THEM'.........and that would be preach Jesus.
So today I will.....approach this day, each conversation prayerfully expectant.
