Chatting with Jesus
Friday, August 12, 2022
Lord, Your Word instructs us not to keep to ourselves our story how You transformed our heart and gave us a new life of redemption from sins by Your grace, (Psalm 107:2). People in this fallen world need to hear that You are the God who doesn’t just turn bad people into good people, but You are the God who takes the dead-on-the-inside and transforms them into a new, truly-alive-person-on-the-inside.
Each person You call Your unique masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10). We are not all hardwired the same. Some You created as extroverts. We’ve seen them. They will talk to anyone, anywhere, and if no one is around, they’ll even strike up a conversation with a light pole. Others You created as introverts. Shy, and often withdrawn, they avoid talking with strangers . . . or light poles. Whether extrovert or introvert, all Christ-followers share a common theme: we are not the same since we experienced Jesus and God’s grace.
You have not made telling our story difficult. As Christ-followers, You speak to us on the inside, telling us when and with whom to share our story. We trust You will give us the right words as we do our part. Thankfully, You take the pressure off us since it is the Holy Spirit’s job to convince people You are who You say You are and will do what You say You will do. That’s something only You can do, Lord.
It is on You Jesus and in Your authority, amen.
