TESTIFYING ABOUT THE LORD'S BLESSINGS
I was in
a rather long line at the grocery store the other day, and couldn't help overhearing the conversation of two men behind
me.
One was telling the other about his recent spiritual experience and his joy in the telling was beautiful
to hear. What he was doing was what Christians are called to do, which is testifying. Part of his inspiring testimony
went something like this:
"He sent me to that church. I never would have gone there on my own. He saved
me, man. I could still be doing today what I'd been doing before, but he blessed me."
I could hear and feel his joy, and could definitely relate. You can't contain it, and want to share it with everyone.
What you really want is for everyone to experience something so overwhelmingly wonderful.
I wanted to join in the conversation and discuss my own personal experience, but I didn't because it was his
moment; his opportunity to touch a life with his testimony; his chance to relive the experience and reaffirm his faith.
It was his time to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
So, I just zipped my lip and silently basked
in the warm glow of his joy.
