Last night I had a conversation with a guy who is such a huge encouragement and example to me. He has given me great advice when it comes to missions and sharing my heart and faith with others. I think I am coming to a point where I am going to have to make a huge step. And it will be a step of faith. There have been baby steps so far - but it's time. Time to be brave - not because I am on my own - but because my Lord is my strength
It is time for me to get outside this little comfort box that has 'frightened' written all over it. I have a story that is so beautiful to share and yet - I get scared - I shy away.
"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. For in just a little while the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away." - Hebrews 10:35-38
This is such an important point made in Hebrews. It has been the call of my heart.. to not lose confidence. There are so many times that I get nervous. But I have to remember that God is the strength of my heart and I have victory through Him & this is a victory that I need to share with others - it is so beautiful!
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. SO never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord..." - 2 Timothy 1:7-8
It's time to be real, time to love and time to live by faith. It's time to rejoice and live in true worship.
