Just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak not to please man but to please God who tests our hearts. – 1 Thessalonians 2:4
Have you ever imagined yourself taking that darkened stage and speaking for those golden 18 minutes called a TED Talk (or something similar)? While, for some, it is a happy dream and, for others, a nightmare, every follower of Christ has a beautiful testimony about the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. A story meant to be told!
Your life path organically takes you across the paths of others being prepared to know you personally and witness to your relationship with God! You can be certain EVERYONE you meet is on a spiritual quest, “And He made from one man every nation of mankind… that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him” (Acts 17:26-27). What you cannot tell from the outside is whether their voyage is moving away from or towards God. The only way to find out is to engage and, whether or not they already believe in Jesus, your response is the same. You tell them what God has done in your life! Sharing your faith should be as natural as breathing, it is just telling your story, one you know best!
The Holy Spirit is able to take what you say and use it to enliven faith in the heart of another. Ask Him to use your words before you speak and watch Him open the conversation. God loves to work through His children.
