I made a last minute decision to go along to our Friday night youth service at church today. I haven't been in a while but, as I considered putting on my pajamas tonight, something stopped me and instead I put on jeans and got myself ready to go out. God wanted me to go o this service, I knew I had to obey. I realised there was obviously something that He wanted me to hear.
The youth pastor at church is an amazing woman of God and has such an annointing to reach the younger generation. She really knows how to speak a message that can be easily understood and still extremely powerful.
She spoke today of the story in Acts 3 - 4. Peter and John healed a begger who had been lame from birth. This miracle story then captured the attention of many people who then became to be believers of Christ.
Our stories may not include miraculous healings but they can still be just as powerful. Our testimony's are not just fun little stories to keep to ourselves or to save for our kids. They are stories to be shared. Even the things that seem small to you may be an amazing realisation for others. For me and my testimony, I find myself thinking about where I would be if I did not find Jesus. I know that there are many other places I could have ended up, if I was even still alive. I could have been homeless, completely depressed, suicidal, drug dependant.... and those are just a few things that come to mind. Thanks to God I am none of those things. He really did save me. So, I may not have had a healing of sickness in my life, but what He has done for my life, what He has done for me is still miraculous.
Everyone has a story worth sharing, you just never know how many people may be brought closer to God by simply hearing yours.]
Thankful for: Compassion
Showing compassion is showing love. I don't have a particular story about it but, I am thankful that there is compassion in the world. It is something that I know a lot of people need.
