For those that know me, I am a bit of an entrepreneur. So lately business has been looking quite good, and starting to progress upward (no pun intended). I believe a large part of that is GOD feels I am ready to take on the next steps in my business endeavors.
I was in a business meeting the other day and my client asked me a question which seems to be coming up quite often. "Are you a Christian?"
I am not offended, nor ashamed when people ask me that, but I find it interesting after all these years in business, I am being asked this question. (most recently within the last 2 years, which is when I turned to Christ). Even more interesting is the people who ask me that question are NOT Christians.
My responses are usually simple and direct, cause I am in a business meeting with my partners and associates and want to keep on task and professional. Then I am asked more questions about my faith, next thing I know I am inviting them to my church. My christian brothers who are my business associates, trip out on how this just happens.
What I have learned so far:
1.) The discussion topic of GOD can happen anywhere.
2.) GOD is leading the conversation.
3.) GOD will NOT just use you at church.
4.) GOD is a wonderful partner to have in leading your business
5.) Don't be afraid to openly discuss your relationship with Him when asked. Who knows what it might lead to.
