Who Needs To Hear Your Story Today?

“Go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been. So the man started off to visit the ten towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.” Mark 5:19-20

After this man was delivered from his possession by Jesus, Jesus instructed him to began moving about and proclaiming what He had done in his life. He was instructed to start at home and this illustrates that your first and greatest mission field will always be among those closest to you. Free and filled with new purpose, he became an evangelist by simply sharing what the Lord had done for him: his testimony. Did you notice that he didn’t need complex theology and certainly not an advanced degree? Jesus didn’t demand that he be an amazing public speaker. His story was enough. Whenever Jesus changes your life, you’re been given a new purpose, a new mission, and a new message. Your personal transformation speaks volumes! Most Christians have a tendency to undervalue the power of their own story, but nothing could be more powerful than stories of personal change because they are real and undeniable. They are testaments to God’s active presence in your life—a message to those who don’t know Jesus that what he does for one, he can do for another. Today, take some time to think about your own life. Does it reflect the change Jesus has made? Have you been telling your story and giving praise to God for what He’s done in you?
