How to Reconcile Evangelizing and Tolerance

How do you reconcile tolerance and evangelizing?
I am a breast cancer survivor. I have had breast cancer in melanoma. If I felt like that in just to say heard that you were someone—because of me was diagnosed with cancer and I felt like that I had something that was going to cure your cancer. I would be a terrible human being if I did not at least offer it to you. Now you might decide, no thank you, that sounds like a really radical thing. I think that is a quack, I am not really interested in it that would not change my wanting to be with you, and to have a friendship and a relationship with you even though you might decide you did not like what I was offering. So I think the same thing applies as in Christian faith. I am over Evangelizing as you said. I happened to believe that I have, not because it is mine, but because God in his words says I want a relationship with every human being. I know that, and so I would be a terrible human being if I did not offer that to you too. At least just say, here is what I found, here is the relationship I have, I would like to introduce you to my friend, God! Friend of God here! God, okay we are friend of God! I would like to introduce you, and if you said, “Thank you very much I appreciate that, but I am not really interested”. Then I would say, “Okay, but lets be friends. Okay can we go to dinner tonight?” you know whether, “Would you pick up my mail for me while I am gone this week on vacation?” It should not affect the level of relationship but neither should I not tell you what I think is the most important news in the whole world.
