be understood by them?
4. Are you patient enough to wait for the not-yet-Christians in your life to ask for your opinion?

Rate Yourself
85 to 100—Congratulations! You might be frequently misunderstood by Christians, but the not-yet-Christians in your life are undoubtedly drawn toward the heart of Jesus formed in you. Keeping walking in this light.
65 to 85—You must decrease, and Jesus must increase—one heart attitude at a time. Embrace the people and the situations in your life as God attempts to prune those heart attitudes that are not bearing fruit for his kingdom.
Under 65—Jesus needs to do something in you before he can do something through you. You might start this process by beginning each day with this prayer; Lord Jesus help me to see the people who will cross my path this day the way you do.
