Jesus said many things that caused trouble by not being what people wanted to hear. Among those are when he told Peter that he was free from taxes, but to go pay them anyways. Christians are to bear witness in their lives by living exemplary lives as Christ did.
Your testimony is important. We have already talked about why you should own it. It is full of power, so what 3 steps can you take to share it?
Your testimony is your story and is a powerful tool for you to share with others. People can argue with your beliefs, but they cannot argue with your testimony.
Stop living for the moment and start living for the miracle. True life and happiness does not come from right here and now, but it comes from something bigger, something greater, something more. Live for the miracle.
