Who Am I? I Am a Testimony.

"...tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee....."  Mark 5:19, 20

The word "testimony" paints a picture of a person standing in front of the church telling a long, unfocused, and boring story of how they became a Christian at the front of the church.

Are GREAT THINGS boring?  
Are GREAT THINGS long-winded? 
Are GREAT THINGS unfocused?  

My daughter came running in the front door shouting one afternoon.  She had found a $20.00 bill on the ground as she walked home from a friends house down the street.  Excited, she rushed in the house to share her good news.  Bright-eyed and a smile on her face, she exploded, "Mom, look what I found, $20.00."  In a matter of minutes, everyone in the house was notified of her find with excitement and joy.

We all have GREAT THINGS in our daily lives to share with others, even in the little things of our lives.  

There are times a testimony is the story of how we came to Christ.  A testimony is an account of the GREAT THINGS God has done.  A testimony is giving God the glory.  A testimony is sharing what God has done in your own life, so others can expect and receive the same in their own lives.

When a person is excited about the things of God, they shout and jump, and cannot wait to share it with others, looking as if they are about to burst at the seems if they do not tell what has them so excited.

What has God done for you?  Look in the small things, and find something to share.  The more you look the easier it will be to see Him actively working in your life.

But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully. 1 Peter 3:15 Amplified
