Diagnosing & Witnessing

I was listening to a Christian Radio station, KLOVE, this past week & they were talking about witnessing to others. They were saying to put it into perspective…when a friend, relative, or whoever is sick or in pain we often suggest medicines or which doctor to use. Most of us use our symptoms to “self-diagnose” them & recommend “treatment” based on our sicknesses we’ve had in the past. Why is this different from witnessing or sharing our testimony with others? It’s not!! I agree that it’s more of a sensitive subject & we can be rejected at times but isn’t telling someone about our gracious Father much more important? You say, yes, of course it is! Especially when telling people about Christ can ultimately lead them to a place where there will be no more sickness or heartache, Heaven. I know that just telling people about Christ doesn’t always BRING them to Him but it does however “plant a seed”& we can continue to fervently pray for their salvation.

Matthew 5:14-16 is described in the children’s song “This little light of mine”. It tells us that we are the light of the world when we know Jesus as our Saviour & for us to let our light be seen by men so they can see Jesus in us. I love this verse as well as the children’s song. hope that this brings you some encouragement & strength to let your lights shine for the Ultimate Healer, Father, & Redeemer!

 

Matthew 5:14-16"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
