OUR STORIES
Today's reading: Psalm 15-17
"My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you." Psalm 17:5 NLT
Maybe our enemy has you thinking your testimony is not a 'great one' if it doesn't include drugs, gutters, far countries or chains of addictions being broken.
Maybe our enemy has silenced you in sharing how much God loves you because you don't have a great lead in like, 'God found me in...' or 'God saved me from...' or even, 'I had turned my back on God because...'
Hear this. I guess more appropriately would be, Read this:
IF GOD HAS SAVED YOU FROM YOUR SINS, YOU HAVE A STORY WORTH SHARING WITH OTHERS!
Sin is sin. Sure, some stink more than others. Some reach out wider and touch the lives of more people. Some sins seemingly have greater consequences and deeper stains than other sins might.
But in God's eyes, all sins are equal, all people are sinners and all those who come to Him have a testimony!
Share yours. If your story involves a dark alley and a gutter, share it. If your story involves staying true to God for many, many years, never wavering, always serving, share it. If your story has just started this morning, share it.
When your know Jesus as your Savior and the Forgiver of all your sins, you have a story!
