The sun is shining and the birds are chirping, it is a beautiful morning and the Lord has given me another day to serve him. A blessing for sure, but too often it can be a blessing that gets overlooked and little recognition when we get caught up in the busyness of our everyday lives. There are so many other things that consume our thoughts. Our past , how to deal with the present issues at the moment and what our future looks like , seem to be the most common.
The one that seems to affect many people the most is their past. We can spend a lifetime trying to forget it, trying to forgive others and ourselves or even pretend that it really was not part of our lives. We can't really escape from our thoughts, but we can replace the negative ones with positive ones. We can share our testimony with others who are in bondage or suffering so the Glory of God can be seen through the situation and so that hope can be brought to others.
In Revelation 12:10 it says they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony;and they loved not their lives unto the death (KJV).......If this is what the word of God tells us than why do we not share more? I am sure there are many reasons we can come up with, but I think one of them is the fear of being so transparent. Will we be looked down on? made fun of? or worse yet REJECTED. It seems to be human nature to think about how we will feel first .When I read that last part in Revelations 12:10 where it says " they loved not their lives unto death", I would think that would definitely mean putting aside our own feelings.
Our time is short and there are SO many people around us that are hurting. I think it is time to tear down our walls, be transparent with one another, love each other the way the Lord has commanded us to and share with others where our only source of strength and hope come from,and that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!!
