You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast to help you discover sacred moments

in the middle of an ordinary day.

If you would enjoy greater access to even more free meditations, I encourage you to download

the Encountering Peace app where all the meditations are free as they should be.

I had been wearing a button on my shirt all day that said, one way.

All day living in fear that someone would ask me what it meant.

The Bible study group in my high school, well, we all agreed to wear the buttons that day.

So when people asked us, we could tell them that Jesus Christ was the one way to God.

Well, it was the last class of the day, and I thought I had escaped, but then the moment

came.

I was asked what the button meant, and I froze.

I shrugged and walked off.

I felt ashamed.

But if you ever missed a moment to share Jesus, just a little too busy, too unaware,

maybe oblivious to the needs around you.

While I pray this meditation from Matthew, chapter 28, will help you be more conscious of

opportunities to be a witness.

More aware of moments to find the courage to share the love of Christ.

I pray it will help you find the faith to say, yes, send me to be your witness.

So to begin your meditation, allow yourself to become aware, aware of your surroundings,

aware of your breathing, even aware of your eyes beginning to close, and just become

aware now of the presence of the Holy Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
