Spread the Gospel!

"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints."
Philemon 1:6,7

"Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold."
II Corinthians 3:12

This is kind of like a follow up to my last post. God let me stumble upon these verses last night, and they were so perfect for what's been on my heart that I had to share them. =)

Say Something!!!!

Witnessing would be so easy if people would just do what they should!

That's what I tell myself. I tell myself that I'll talk to so-and-so about my faith if it comes up. I wait around for people to ask me about it instead of taking an initiative to talk to them about God.

But you know what? There is no time for me to be sitting around, waiting for non-believers to magically become interested in God without someone bringing it up. Sure, that would be great, and sometimes it does actually happen...but God wants me to be pro-active. He wants me to take a leap--even though it's scary.

In the end, I know that by doing something for God's kingdom I will not only be furthering it, but I will be growing closer to God and becoming more like him.

Sigh. Boldness is something I really need to work on. The truth of God is so great that I should be bursting forth with it. I should love my neighbors (and enemies) so much that I can't stop from telling them the Truth!

Thankfully, the place God has me in life right now offers daily opportunities to share His word and spread his truth and love. Now I just need to stop freaking out about it, trust God, and SAY SOMETHING. =)

Peace & Love
