sharing Jesus

I went to church with my Mother and Aunt and her husband on Wednesday night in Eden, NC, and had such a good time with God's people.

The Pastor talked about sharing Jesus with other people. Our witnessing. Now I'm not saying we can't go out and preach the Gospel. That is what we are called to do. But one of the simplest ways we can "preach" is to share Jesus and what He has done for us.

We are His witnesses. We have seen Him. Not in the flesh, but through His Word, certainly. He is the Word.

We each shared something about our salvation or what God had done for us in our lives in small groups before we were dismissed. It was amazing. I wish I knew more about people like this in MY church. I think I am going to suggest it.

I can't think of very many salvation testimonies of people in my church. That is kind of sad. We are family after all, we shouldn't be ashamed to share these things with each other. We should tell each other. I'm afraid we don't really talk to each other anymore. Or maybe it is me that is removed from the people in my church because of my age, and because I have been away at school. If that is true it is certianly my fault and I will have to pray sincerely about that and ask forgiveness.

I am just afraid we don't know each other in the church. We have our "safe" friends that we talk to and the others are just people that we shake hands with and ask how their day has been. But do we know them? Do we intervene on behalf of them? Do we know their burdens and our we trying to help them?

I know this post is long. I know it doesn't make much sense...I am very tired and on medication. But I felt like I had to post it. I liked what David said the other day, part of blogging is saying what you need to and then being willing to be corrected. There's nothing wrong with being corrected. We should have a good spirit about correction and know that others are trying to help us grow in the knowledge of God.

So...if you have had similar thoughts...or if you need to correct something I've said (especially if I misparaphrased/butchered what you said David) please let me know what you think.
