Sharing for Revolution

2/8/2021

2 Timothy 2:15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."

Hearing God speak to me through others is so powerful. Whether this is in a written text, on a Sunday morning, during morning devotion times with my husband, or just in conversation, I always feel so deeply blessed by these moments. He has used so many people around me to draw me into a deeper understanding of His Word and to guide me through situations happening around me. He has used others to bless me with words of love and support. He has even used others to speak truths that are sometimes difficult to hear. All of these instances are powerful indeed, and I am always grateful.

I also love sharing the insights God gives me with others, although that is probably painfully obvious through the writing of this blog. To speak or write about Jesus' sacrifice and saving grace, and how yielding to Him brings freedom and transforming purpose to life, is such an immense blessing. Sharing the truth of that act is the single most critical and profound moment that anyone could ever experience, and praying with another soul is like nothing else on earth. 

To share how we, as believers, are commanded to act and respond is sometimes a bit unnerving, but we can find our strength to do it knowing that these edicts come from the inspired word of God. We need not, nor should we ever, lean on our own understanding, but instead pray for wisdom. God will always guide a willing and surrendered heart. 

Right now in our world, like all of history, people need Jesus. The darker this world becomes, and the more confused and distracted people are, the harder we all have to lean on God and into our ultimate purpose, which is to share the truth of the good news of saving grace through repentance of sin and yielding to Jesus. In this time when the destroyer is acting as the master puppeteer, shining the light of Christ's love in the darkness is all there is for those who love the Lord. I feel this deep down in my soul. We do need a revolution, but one of truth, peace, love, mercy, and grace.
