So much of our conversations are light and surface level. We discuss activities and plans, but not the deeper stirring of the heart. Sometimes, in the right environment, we will share our struggles. We will also freely discuss our victories and joyous celebrations. We may discuss our opinions on political, social, or athletic issues.
However, we all have an important story to tell, if we are so bold to do so. As an example, Jesus healed a man, releasing him from the many demons controlling him. Mark 5:19 says, “And he did not permit him but said to him, ‘Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.'” Those of us who have come to trust in Jesus as our Savior and Lord have a story to tell of His great mercy toward us and how He has changed our lives. Be bold and courageous. Tell your story!
If you have not yet trusted in Jesus, please just take a moment to listen to someone’s Jesus story and consider what Jesus can do for you. Everyone needs the mercy of God. Everyone can be changed by the love and grace of God.
