“When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13
Do others recognize from our behaviour that we have been with Jesus? Might they be amazed at qualities we possess because of Him, even though we aren’t anybody special? Do we spend enough time with Christ that He's able to shape us, and change us into His image? Do we listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit convicting us of things that are not pleasing to Him?
When we spend time with Jesus, praying and reading His word we naturally become more and more like Him, bold yet meek, caring and compassionate, loving and gentle and sure enough people will want what we possess. We will truly be salt and light in this dark world.

The Lord says, “In the day of trouble, call on Me. I will deliver you and you will glorify Me” (Psalm 50:15).
It pleases the Lord when we run to Him with our problems, our pain and burden, instead of going from this person to that and trying to figure it out ourselves. What father wants his child to be under a load of care? People may get tired of hearing our problems and say, “Don’t bother me. Figure it out yourself.” We feel they don't seem to understand our desperate state. But God says, “Cast all your burdens on Me, for I care for you! Bring them to Me!” Oh, what an awesome God we serve! He alone is our burden bearer. He alone truly loves us and cares for us.
“It may not happen the way you expect it or on your timetable, but God is a faithful God. It will happen.”
