two steps of evangelism

This morning I attended a seminar on evangelism. One of the presenters said there are two basic points to evangelism.

1. live Jesus love
   
2. talk about Jesus love

Wow! Simple and right on the mark. Evangelism does not need to be like sales. We don't have a quota to meet. The idea is to help people get a relationship with God. That's almost impossible unless we first have a relationship with them. You can't talk to someone about something as personal as their eternal salvation unless they see you as a friend..

I really like this way of thinking. I don't have to have any hidden agendas when I talk to people. I don't have to try to find some angle where I can turn a conversation around to spiritual matters. I just have to live my life for Jesus, be a friend to as many people as I can and wait for the HS to provide me with an opportunity to tell what I know.

Now, how do I overcome whatever it is inside me that does not want any friends?
