Hi there. Remember
me?? I apologize for dropping off the map for a bit. Been caught up in various
family events and the excitement of the season and my blogging took a backseat.
For this post
I have a quick word of encouragement for my fellow faith-like-a-child
believers. I have over heard many who, like myself, were raised in church and
came to Christ as a very young child and who, apart from being born with a sin
nature, had little time to do any really “dramatic” sins (though in God’s eyes
they are all the same), say that they feel they don’t really have a very strong
testimony. I too, having accepted Christ at the age of seven, have heard these
same ridiculous lies whispered in my ear when hearing someone give a gut wrenching
testimony of how they were high and in prison when suddenly the power of God
reached down and rocked their world. These stories are awesome, powerful
witnesses to the majesty and power of our great God to reach into the deepest
pit and radically change a life. But we must remember the true greatness of the
salvation experience is the love of a perfect God reaching down to a ruined
sinner and bridging that eternal gap by the giving of His only son. It’s not
about the person, it’s about the God!
Besides, the impact our story has on someone else is not our responsibility. God will take our obedience to share and run with it, opening doors and hearts in ways we never dreamed possible!
So don’t
give into that fear or doubt that creeps in and tries to tell you that your
testimony isn’t powerful or big enough to bother telling. At this time of year
when Christ is the reason for all the excitement don’t be afraid to speak up
and share what that baby’s birth did to change your life!
