Luke 10:2
Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest."
"Lord, I pray I'll bear a good testimony everywhere I go."
"Lord, let me be the light and the salt of the earth."
"I want to shine for the Lord in everything I do."
"God, let me be a good testimony at home."
We bear a good testimony.
Now, we ARE the testimony.
But...
Many times we are so engrossed in BEING a testimony that we forgot CHRIST IS THE TESTIMONY.
We live our lives to glorify God. Yes. We try to be kind to people, we try to show people how different we are and we try to convince people that we are good people because God has made us good.
How does that change/impact souls?
Bearing and being a good testimony is good.
But more than that!
It is all about Jesus. It's all about what Jesus has done on the CROSS.
Stop showing the world how changed we are. Start telling them how their lives can be changed!
