Gold Letters

I have this blue book with gold letters on it. Inside of the pages are writings that inspire me and millions of other people around the world. In the inside flap of this book I am writing my testimony of the truthfulness of this book. The next step is where I have trouble. To whom do I give this book?

Friend #1- Probably not interested.
Friend #2- Probably not interested.
Friend #3- Probably not interested.
.and so on.

What do I do about this? I will not know they are interested if I do not offer. I heard once that the answer is always "no" if you do not ask. None the less, I fear rejection. I fear difficult questions.

Poor me. I have a nice apartment. And a bed. And a car. And a bathroom. Water. Food. A computer. Clothes. Jewelry. Cell phone. Modern medicine. Money. Books. An education. A loving family. A CD player. A collection of music. An MP3 player. A desk. Carpet. Oranges. About a million pairs of shoes. A knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I share my books and give people rides. I like to feed people and I *try* to donate my clothes to needy people. Why do I find it so difficult to share this? It should be simple.

Sincerely and humbly the quest continues. I will find someone to give this book to. I will try to help build the kingdom of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
