I Need The Perfect Words

in church today, they sang the song Here I Go Again by Casting Crowns. it really spoke to me. the lyrics to that song are so powerful.
we all have those people that we know that don't know Christ. those people that, if they were to die today or if He were to come today, they would not be going to Heaven. how terrible would we feel if we knew that we had opportunities to bring the Lord into their lives? that we could have influenced some good into their lives and maybe stopped that from happening? family, friends, acquaintances, how do we tell them about Him with the right words that they will actually hear and take in? what are the correct words? we have to tell them that He loves them before it's too late, cause when it's too late, it's too late. you can't go back and help them. you can't go back and be like "oh wait, i didn't think this would happen so lemme go back and talk to them about God to save them from Hell." that can't happen. if they have never heard about Him or His word, how will they know? how will they know that they're not living their lives the way they should, if we don't tell them? they won't. it's our job to show them and to help them follow Him and learn from His word. we care about them...a lot, and maybe the best way to show that we care is to bring Him into their lives. talk to them about Him and bring His word to their ears. let them know that he does love them no matter what they've done or how bad their past may be. He has loved them since the day they were born and will continue to love them forever. we have to act before it's too late.
