Common Ground

Common Ground

When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 (NLT)

Each of us interact with multiple people throughout the day.  At times, it may seem like we don’t have anything in common with them.  But if we spend a little time trying, we can find common ground with most of the people we meet.  As an example, you both could be parents, or you may have similar hobbies or interests in life.  As we find common ground with others, we can use it as an open door to share how God has helped us in that area.  Find common ground with someone today.

Prayer:
God, thank you for reminding me that I have something in common with almost everyone.  Send someone across my path today who needs to hear about you.  Open my eyes to find common ground with them.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
