Hello dear reader!
Have you ever shared some (deep)part of your story with someone?! Something that would, hopefully, help them to feel encouraged?
Who does not like a good, real and inspiring story, right?!
Tell a true story is an art. And we love to feel connected with the pain, struggle and the overcoming part of another’s person story, because that make us feel like we are not alone in our pain.
Lately, I feel like I am struggling with this Idea of sharing my vulmerability with others. I dont like to feel exposed. Even though I KNOW that when I share what is real in my life, somehow, I’m helping people I don’t even know to feel inspired to keep going, to have hope.
I already shared part of my story is this blog. To be honest, I feel more confortable writing than speaking.
However, is part of EVERY CHRISTIAN PURPOSEin life to share what it means to follow Jesus. And that is because He can actually change our lives. When we have a real encounter with Him, that CHANGES EVERYTHING! We can never be the same again.
God is definitely challenging me to be more BOLD in this mission, of sharing what He has done in my life, with others. But If I can be honest, It IS not a easy task for me.
I want to do that l, really and every time I do I feel that I am doing what He cretated me to do.
The.Word of God burns in my heart and I love when I can have deep meaningful conversations about Jesus with others.Usually are people who I already know and feel confortable talking to.
When It comes to share it with totally stranges, It is a whole another scenario. I feel the urge, but something makes me hesitant. Fear? Shame? Maybe I just don’t want to get out of my confort zone, I don’t know.
No matter the reason, I feel God urging me to sow the seeds, to not keep It to myself. Because while I am hesitating, there are a lot of people out there sowing bad and harmful ideas, that people embrace because they just don’t know better. And that is really sad.
I am sharing this because I know that are people out there struggling with this same feeling as me. Maybe it’s you.
And I can tell you, every time we overcome this barrer that comes from fear, encredible things happens.
I remember one time when I just asked to pray for an elder guy in the mall(I was attending a evangelistic conference there and we were encouraged to do so) and it was pretty amazing. He shared his heart with me and latter, His wife came and we all pray together again. I could tell they were impacted by the Love of God.
So, when this thooughts of fear and doubt comes to our minds, we just need to remember that it is a lie from the enemy and God is so much bigger than our inabilities. With His help, we can do it!
I want to close it by praying for everyone reading this that, just like me, loves Jesus and want to share His good news, that want to share what He has done in your life but you just don’t know how to start. You are hesitant.
“God, fill us with your Holy Spirit, give us a sound mind, a willing spirit, a boldness that comes from above to share your love and your truth with others! I ask, God, that you will wash away the spirit of fear and intimidation out of our hearts. Give us a love for the lost and help us to see people as you do, with love and compassion, in Jesus name. Amen.
That’s all friends, feel free to share your own experiences and thoughts, on the subject, in the comments. It would be awesome.
Have a great day!
