So at youth, our leaders have been taking turns the last few weeks sharing their testimonies. It’s really gotten me to think…
I've always thought: “I don’t have a testimony. When I became a Christian, I wasn’t coming from some horrible background. I’ve never done anything horrible. I just…am a Christian…”
I remember the first time I saw that God had worked directly so that something someone else had gone thru, not only could they see why they had had to go thru it for THEM, but we could both see how they had gone thru it so years later, they could help ME.
I’m realizing that maybe I DO have a testimony to share. I DO have things in my life that are amazing. I DO have more than just “I was a baby. I accepted Jesus. I lived. Here I am.” God has done amazing things in me. He has worked, stretched, tried, tested, molded, and is perfecting me in so many ways.
Just because I haven’t had an abortion, been into drugs, been in JuV, or even crashed my parents’ car, skipped school, purposely acted differently around one group of people or another… doesn’t mean I don’t have a story to tell. I do. I even have a story that can touch people.
God, thank you for working in me. Thank you for giving me my own, unique story. Thank you that you’re not finished with me yet.
