Admonition for Peacemakers
"The peace which you proclaim with words must dwell even more abundantly in your hearts. Do not provoke others to anger or give scandal. Rather, let your gentleness draw them to peace, goodness, and concord. This is our vocation: to heal wounds, to bind what is broken, to bring home those who are lost. And remember that many who may now seem to be of the devil can one day become disciples of Christ." --Legend of the Three Companions, 58
This is truly the only way to bring others to Christ. We can tell them about Him, but that won't entice them to come unless their hearts are already prepared. Someone has to love them into coming. Why not you and me?
