About two 2 months ago God started speaking to me to “move” and take more action. To go out and make disciples, like verse Matthew 28:19-20 says. Starting out, with my new small groups. There were many obstacles. But being able to talk about Jesus with other people sparked a light in me and so I kept going. As I got more comfortable, I started enjoying the Bible studies and after a few months I was able to talk more about what we were learning and being vulnerable with how I relate. I’ve grown a lot and connected to people and it has been such a blessing. Next, sharing the gospel in unique ways. For me, I took more of a quiet hidden approach to this. God inspired me to...go out with my friend Emily and place flowers with scripture cards we made on cars in parking lots to spread the love of God and it was so joyous. Another thing is I started secretly putting Bible verses or items in random places for people to find. Just praying that God brings the right people to those places. And I’ve been trying to do that in the places I go since. I’ve also have been able to share God’s love through putting scripture notes and prayers in the care packages for chronically ill teens that I make. I always try to incorporate Jesus. Recently I felt the urge to share the gospel outloud to someone. I had an opportunity but was so anxious about what to say, that the girl eventually left. Maybe the engaging with others in person is not my thing. I struggle with communication skills. But if I get another chance, I pray God gives me the courage to do so. Because doing all these things is coming out of a deep heart, desperately wanting more people to know about God. And to be able to experience the overwhelming love, peace and joy that changed my life. That’s my want and my ultimate desire. Although, it used to be the opposite—another story.
But every day, I keep on praying for God to give me opportunities to share the good news or my testimony. And even when those times don’t happen, I trust that He has more coming. I try to be expectant. I hope you can be too. He has a mission for you and incredible ways you will make a difference. 💗
