Common Ground

When we are focused on Jesus instead of on ourselves, everything changes. It no longer matters that there is nothing we are interested in talking about with others. In Him, our interest is with the other person, no matter what they want to say. His love in us draws them to us and we begin to focus on them. In allowing that to happen, common ground emerges in the conversation. We find that there are things we really do have in common. It might be schools we have attended, sports teams we like to follow, cars we have driven, places we have visited, and a host of other possibilities. But we never get the chance to bring them to Christ if we never allow ourselves to find the common ground. We never get the chance until we release 'me' and let Christ shine through. ~ DickEvans.org
