(2 Esdras 2:24-28)"Be calm, my people, your time to rest will come. Take care of your children like a faithful nursemaid and guide their steps in safe paths, so that none of them will be lost. When the time comes, I will hold you responsible for them. Don't worry; when the day of trouble and distress comes, others will cry and mourn, but you will be happy and rich. The other nations will be jealous of you, but they will not be able to harm you."
Who do I know that they might be ready to have my story shared with and How?
(Luke 4:43)But he said to them. "I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns also because that is what God sent me to do."
How am I going to be involved in small group sharing?
If God's own Son came down to Earth as a Human and showed us examples of this "Sharing"; can we refuse to do what our Brother has done.
Do I feel that I have special gifts in the area of sharing and what?
The reign of God, as God, is His to control. Men can do and have done, nothing to hasten the coming. But the seed has been growing secretly, God's purposes have been maturing through the long story of Israel and his Gentile children. As part of our growth plan we need to prove our love, so He has provided us the opportunity. Will we use it? Let your strengths balance your weakness, and be grateful that your abilities make up for your deficiencies.
(Romans 12:6-8)"So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously, whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully."
