Winsome

Winsome is an interesting word. It is rarely used in every day conversations. I have most recently heard this word in a message given by Chuck Swindoll.

What does this word mean?

According to Merriam Webster’s online dictionary winsome is  ...

cheerful, pleasant, appealing

described as generally pleasing, and engaging often because of a childlike innocence.

Who do you know that is winsome? 

I can think of Beth Moore. Her teaching style is engaging, cheerful, and a she has  sweet sense of innocence. Yet, she challenges you to go deep in God's word ... apply it, live it, don't just talk about it ... 

Another person ... Rick Warren... He teaches God's word with such love,  compassion and conviction. 

If I remember accurately, Chuck Swindolll was challenging his audience to have a winsome attitude to be an attractive witness for Christ.
