When we think about Jesus and His ministry, we know He was super-intentional in every situation. He often chose an off-the-beaten-path route where He could talk to people in a one-on-one setting to know them and their needs and bring them into a relationship with Him. If we are called to live like Jesus, then we are called to be intentional like Him in our conversations. Most of the people who came to know Jesus as their Savior did so because of the time He took to be intentional. If we are not being intentional with the people around us and asking them about their spiritual life, how can we be living like Jesus? We need to be better about speaking intentionally with the people around us and seeing their true need for Jesus, rather than overlooking it.

Who are some people in your own life who have chosen to be intentional with you and your walk with Christ?

How can you be more intentional with people – family, friends, the lost – as Jesus was?
