Good morning! I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day. Take time to thank God for the freedoms you enjoy and for those who gave their lives to pay for those freedoms.
Acts 22:15 (NIV)
You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Each of us has a story to tell. Some stories are more dramatic than others, but the fact remains that each of us has a unique story. Our life experiences are unique to us and because they are personal, they are also stories that we tell with passion.
There is great power in the telling of your story. When we talk of where we have been, God's power is revealed in our lives. His presence in the mountains and valleys of life is revealed. His helping hand in times of trouble is seen clearly through our own experiences.
The telling of your story is an encouragement to those who hear it. Sadly, all too often we keep our stories to ourselves. We hold back our experiences from others, depriving them of the strengthening that our story would bring.
As Christians we have been called to “bear witness” to the work of Jesus in our lives. Telling our stories is a key part of our ongoing witness.
Today I encourage you to share your life with someone. Tell a part of your story as the opportunity arises. You never know how God will use that story to change a life in a powerful way.
Until next Monday, may God's richest blessings be yours this week.
Carl
