Get Out There! #shesharestruth

If you are anything like me, there has been more than one occasion that you have felt unworthy or not gifted enough to share God's love to the world. Thoughts like I don't know what to say, They won't listen to me, or even what if they ask me a question I can't answer?, have gone through my head over and over again. Through a lot of studying the Bible and learning from watching others, I have come to realize that everyone story isn't the same, our personalities are different or our gifts/talents mold the way we share our stories.

Will you take a sigh of relief with me? How refreshing it is to know that when we share about our personal experiences with Christ and what he has done for us, He will use them in ways that we could never imagine. He will put people in our life that need to hear the good news the way only we can tell it.

So, get out there... share your story. Let God do the rest! If that means a quick conversation in line at the coffee shop, or in the grocery store checkout line... do it.

From experience} The less I worried about the perfect opportunity or the right way to say something, the more opportunities I had to share a piece of my heart.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT) explains it perfectly. It says...
Each time he said, My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

This is not goodbye.

With the passing of my Grandpa a few weeks ago, I have been thinking a lot about the hope I have knowing that I will see him again. That this is not goodbye. I also think about family and friends that may not have found that hope yet and don’t share my same excitement or longing for heaven. 

Don’t get me wrong, I am fully human and I pray that I will be around for a long while longer. There is so much that I still want to do, see and experience. But, when my time comes, I have overwhelming peace and know that I will be with Jesus for eternity!

I have been reading through the blog, She Reads Truth and a challenge was given to all who were willing to take it. They titled it, She Shares Truth. Every week, they give you a passage of the Bible to read and dig into. Then, they challenge you to write your thoughts about the passage on your personal blog or Facebook page. I thought this was an amazing opportunity to dig into God’s Word, so I took them up on the challenge. So, check back frequently for my take on these passages. I can’t wait to see what I find!

This week the assigned passage was Psalm 130. Again it was a great reminder of the hope I have. The hope we ALL have. How refreshing. 

I love that in our darkest moments God hears our cries, our pleas for Him. That even in our worst filth, if we ask Him, He cancels our debts and FORGIVES! Friends, there is hope in Him. A hope of everlasting life in Heaven. Once you pray to let Jesus come and live in you, that can never be taken away. What peace! 

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life”

Don't delay! Jesus is waiting, with open arms. RUN to Him.
