To make Him known

This quote by Caryll Houselander really inspired me, and reminded me of how the heart of evangelization is simple. Often times we make it more complicated than it needs to be. But in the end, it comes down to one thing: love. The love of God, is best manifested by us simply being in love with God.

"Those who have him [Christ], those in whom he is born again day after day, have just this one work to do: to show the others what they want, what they long for, is Christ.

Let them see that 'the Lord is little and greatly to be loved' and they will do the rest. Books of theology can frighten them, noisy propaganda can drive them away, controversy can chill them, organization withers up their minds, but the joy of someone like themselves, happy in the company of God, cannot fail to show them how lovable God is.
