For I am not ashamed

For I am not ashamed

As I read the gospels and all the times and ways that God revealed himself to individuals through miraculous means just to bring man a message from the throne of heaven that everyone and every situation mattered to God, it struck me that those people were the changed in ways that compelled them to share their experience with Christ with others. It was difficult for them to hold it in.

1. The boy who gave his bread and fish to Christ and saw the Lord feed 5000 people because he had compassion on them. I am sure he told his buddies about that for years. His faith that was willing to offer Christ the little he had to offer was rewarded in a way that changed the youngster for life
I'll bet he was not ashamed to speak of Jesus Christ and what he did.

2. The woman that was about to be stoned by her self-righteous accusers when she saw the Lord intervene in a manner that sent her accusers packing one by one. Imagine what the words from her creator that said " neither do I condemn you did in her spirit I'll bet she boldly spoke of her redemption. Her life was spared and her true worth established in person by her creator.

3. The ultimate statement of God's promise to us is that in spite of our sin he desires to forgive us and in fact dwell with us forever in His Kingdom and as a recipient of such majestic jesture I too must find occasion to boast.

God designed in His plan to reach His creation in the most personal way. He considers each person and knows each circumstance. Take a moment to recall the top 5 things the Lord has done for you then lookip the 5 most significant scriptures you have heard that have changed your life. Then find those in your circle of influence who need to hear a personal testmony from one who God has changed. Reach out and give the gift of your testimony. Allow God to blend it with the unchanging Word and see what happens.

You will see the Hand of God work because he delights in seeing the hope of salvation spread in His creation and through those He has touched.

Blessings to you ,
