BE A WITNESS
Good morning to you on this fine day!
How are you this morning or this evening or whenever you read this blog? I want to say thank you to each one of you for taking the time to read this. I pray that you have found some value to reading this. I am so thankful to God for telling me to write this blog. I hope that it has helped someone in some way, maybe encouragement, or salvation, or maybe just hope in Jesus Christ. Because it has surely helped me.
I have told before how this blog got started, that I was depressed. I had quite a few things going on in my life and I was just down in the dumps as we used to say. I was spending my time in the morning with God praying and I heard God speak to my spirit, "Write a blog." And as usual I said "I can't do that, can I?" Well, the more I prayed, the more I felt it and said "yes, Lord, I will do it." Well, the rest is history, as they say. I have been writing this since the last few days of October. I haven't missed a day. I pray that something I have said in this blog has moved someone to come closer to Jesus.
I know I have gotten kind of long-winded in my blogs and I apologize for that. But when you talk about Jesus there is so much to talk about. We should all be talking about Jesus and be a living witness of Him.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
So, when we get saved the Holy Spirit comes upon us. And when He does we receive the power and boldness to be a witness for Jesus. We just need to be a willing servant and He will give us the words to say or actions to do. Sometimes we don't even need to say a word. People are watching our actions and our attitude.
You yourselves are our letter, written
on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
2 Corinthians 3:2
People read us and can tell what we stand for by our actions and attitudes, as I said. So, watch how you act and what you say. People are listening.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on
its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
These scriptures were written just a few verses after the Beatitudes. Read them. They tell a lot about how we should be. And we will be blessed.
Let's tell others about Jesus. And when you say that you can't do that just think about telling them what awesome and great things that He has done for you. We may have to do that in bits and pieces because for some people a lot of Jesus may be too much all at once. We don't want them to turn and run the other way. Sometimes we may need to witness slowly especially if it is someone we see everyday. We don't want to shove them out the door.
So, be patient and kind and act like Jesus did and people will see that in us. And God will bless you a lot. I know He already has. He has blessed you already by pouring out His love upon you.
Have a blessed day!
