What is your testimony? Does the idea of sharing your heart and faith with others intimidate you? Your testimony can be much more than the words you speak about God.
As followers of Christ, we are called to testify about the impact Jesus has had on our lives. Putting into words the details of the moment we surrendered our life and the relationship we have with Christ is only part of sharing our testimony. The way we choose to live our day-to-day life should also testify to who God is and be a constant reflection of His goodness.
Over the years, I have faced many trials in life, including major health issues, divorce, and even the death of loved ones. During all those difficult times, God has faithfully given me the strength to endure them with His grace, reflecting a peace not easily understood by unbelievers. As people hear and inquire about my story, I have a unique, God-ordained opportunity to share my unchanging hope in the Lord, giving Him all the glory. Those moments of struggle in my life and my response opened doors to connect to others.
In 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV), we are challenged by these words, “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”
How we speak, respond in situations, and make daily choices can be the best way to share God’s love. I would dare to say that it is the most impactful way our testimony is spoken because it is the part of us that is freely and openly seen by those around us. The Bible tells us to be ready to testify to what God has done, sharing the good news through both words and actions. Using our lives to be God’s visual example of hope may be the one thing that can reach people in a way nothing else can.

Love this. â¤ï¸
Love your testimony.â¤ï¸
I have witnessed some of your trails and to be honest it was obvious that your faith was getting you through day by day. I remember your moving testimony that touched the heart of all the ladies at the church tea. It is a great help to others to see the faith and hope that is in Christ . I'm so glad that Christ was with you all along the road.
