What or Who Are You Recommending?

I was picking up my favorite salad at the store and found myself telling another shopper how delicious this salad was. She decided to get a package for herself. “I am going to go on your recommendation!” she said. I told her she would not regret it. Later, I thought about how silly it was for me to get so excited about a salad. I wished I had thought to share with her that I had something much more exciting to tell her about . . . a much more important recommendation . . . a personal relationship with Jesus! Throughout our days we recommend many things to people…restaurants, doctors, entertainment, books, etc. The list goes on and on. But are we as excited about sharing the Good News of the Gospel with others and how Jesus has changed our lives as we are about all these other things? It gave me food for thought . . . .
