I have only to consider the conversations I have been having with those around me. As you well know, a new parent will tell everyone he meets about his new baby, whether they care or not. A new convert will tell everyone about Jesus. The degree to which God occupies *unforced* conversations -- as opposed to orchestrated theological "ambush" -- is a good mirror to how well are thoughts are anchored in God. If God continually occupies our hearts, Scripture exhorts us not to worry about what words we should use, but He will give us them. It is surprisingly easy to see what has been occupying my thoughts.
