sharing your testimony

have you made the decision to allow Christ to reign over your heart? if so, you have an important story to tell: yours.

your personal testimony is profoundly important, but perhaps because of shyness (or because of the fear of being rebuffed), you've been hesitant to share your experiences. if so, you should start paying less attention to your own insecurities and more attention to the message that God wants you to share with the world.

in his second letter to Timothy, Paul shares a message to believers of every generation when he writes, "God has not given us a spirit of timidity." Paul's meaning is clear: when sharing our testimonies, we must be courageous, forthright, and unashamed.

Corrie ten Boom observed, "There is nothing anybody else can do that can stop God from using us. We can turn everything into a testimony." her words remind us that when we speak up for God, our actions may speak even more loudly than our words.

when we let other people know the details of our faith, we assume an important responsibility: the responsibility of making certain that our words are reinforced by our actions. when we share our testimonies, we must also be willing to serve as shining examples of righteousness-undeniable examples of the changes that JESUS makes in the lives of those who accept HIM as their Saviour.

are you willing to follow in the footsteps of JESUS? if so, you must also be willing to talk about HIM. and make no mistake-the time to express your belief in HIM is now. you know how HE has touched your own heart; help HIM do the same for others. have a nice day !!
