Planting Seeds
When it comes to giving Christian encouragement to non-Christians, it's important to approach the conversation with love, respect, and understanding. Here are a few suggestions:
Remember, the goal is not to convert someone but to provide encouragement and support. Building genuine relationships and demonstrating Christ's love through your actions can have a profound impact on non-Christians.
We are to plant seeds of Christ in others. Sometimes we water seeds that others have already planted. Whether or not the seeds grow depends on the soil in which they were planted. It does not depend on us. We’ve done our part by planting and watering. (Luke 8 & Matthew 13 – Parable of the Sower)

When it comes to giving Christian encouragement to non-Christians, it's important to approach the conversation with love, respect, and understanding. Here are a few suggestions:
- Show genuine care and empathy: non-Christians may have different beliefs and perspectives, so it's important to listen attentively and understand their unique experiences and struggles. By showing genuine care and empathy, you can build a strong foundation for meaningful conversations.
- Share personal testimonies: Sharing your own experiences of how your faith has brought you comfort, hope, and joy can be a powerful way to encourage non-Christians. Personal stories can resonate deeply and help them see the positive impact of Christianity in your life.
- Focus on common values: Find common ground by emphasizing shared values such as love, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion. These values are often universal and can be appreciated by people of all faiths or no faith at all.
- Use scripture wisely: When using scripture, it's important to be sensitive to the context and the person you're speaking with. Choose verses that highlight God's love, grace, and mercy. For example, John 3:16 is a well-known verse that emphasizes God's love for the world.
