Draw the Circle - Day 32 - Get a Testimony

" . . . and by the word of their testimony  . . ." - Revelation 12:11

What has God done for you?

This is the first question - a very important question to ask and to answer.

When you begin to list out the stuff God has done for you and the gifts He has given you, you've laid the foundation for your story.

Once upon a time, I was . . .  but then God . . .

Once upon a time, I didn't have  . . . but then God . . .

This isn't just one story, but multiple stories

Now comes the second big question.

Who have you told?

You have a story, really multiple stories, that need to be told.

The best time to tell them is right when they happen - when they are fresh, when you are excited about what God has done

But even when not fresh, your stories need telling.

They are the building blocks of our faith and they encourage others.

They encourage us and others to pray, to share, to give, to witness, to read God's Word, to serve  . . .

Viners need to hear your story(ies).  People who are not connected to God need to hear your story(ies).

And you need to tell them - for the benefit of your own soul..

I can't wait to hear your stories.

Keep drawing circles.

Happy 4th all!
