This is such an important...Nice reflection Celeste. This is such an important concept and it's also the hardest--we have to live our own lives in radical obedience to Christ before we can expect others to listen to us and follow Jesus because of our words. Why were the Saints so effective in converting people and spreading the gospel? Many of them were very talented and brilliant, but it wasn't their natural abilities that produced that supernatural fruit. It was their love of God and devotion to following his will. Of course, talent doesn't hurt, but the fruit that abided came from the work of the Holy Spirit through them. <br /><br />And all of that is not easy.
