How to be a light where God has you

James and his wife were at church one Sunday when they noticed a new couple sitting not far away from them. So after the service, they walked up and greeted them. The new couple asked where they lived, so James described his neighborhood and talked about how nice it was.

The same question was asked to the new couple, who lamented about where they were living. They said that in the few weeks since they moved in, not one of their neighbors had stopped by to say hello.

The two couples parted, got in their cars, and drove home. As James and his wife were pulling into their driveway, they were horrified to see the new couple… pulling into the driveway just next to theirs.

This sad story could be repeated in cities and towns all across our country today. That's because many people simply refuse to take the time to get to know the people who are living right around them.

So wherever you live today, be it a house, community living, or any other situation, make an effort to get to know those who are living right around you. Build relationships and watch as God uses you to share His truth with others.
