Cardboard Testimonies

As you know, I work with an addictions program at my church every Friday night. One of the greatest blessings in it, for me, is seeing how our Heavenly Father can take someone with NO hope, and give them THE hope, and then witnessing firsthand the results stemming from their acceptance of Him. What a beautiful picture of God's grace!

But ya know, it's that same grace He showered each of us with, when WE became believers. We all have a story... an account... of how our lives have changed, since making Jesus our Lord and Saviour. We can all testify (hopefully) as to how He's shaped and molded us along the way, changing us into who He would have us be. Speaking for myself here, it's a continual work. I've often not been as pliable as I should have been (though I am striving to change that, daily). But nonetheless, He HAS made a difference in my life. I'm not the person I once was... Praise God!

If we could each have a turn to share what He's done in our lives, and reveal the many ways He's turned things around for us... and in us... there's just no way to know how our testimony might make a difference in someone else's life. That's the reason I do this... my blogging, and my MySpace page. It isn't about ME. As much as I love my my family, my friends, my church, and yes, even my chickens... it isn't about them, either. It's all about bringing God praise and glory for what He's done (and continually does) in my life. The Bible tells us to give Him praise in all things. So that's what I'm doing... here in my blog... and on MySpace. It's just another way to tell others that I love Jesus, and what He's done for me.

But getting back to the point, someone sent me a profound video today. It moved me to tears... so much so, that it took me a few moments to regain my composure. I thought it especially worthy of sharing here, so please do watch it. And remember, we all have PLENTY to give Him praise for. So be creative, and do so joyfully, despite the enemy's intentions of keeping you from it. God bless!
