LindaBee,
Madeline, hit it right on the nail. John 3:16, my dear, shows it all right there. "For God so loved the world..."
Jesus also loved us, because He has shown compassion for us even though we were so cruel to Him. It is a love so strong that Jesus wanted to die for us so that we may not perish, but live forever.
The Holy Spirit will speak through you when the time comes. Just pray before you go and when you’re with someone pray out loud when you need an answer. People will be amazed at your faith.
Love always!
