Don't Underestimate the Power of Your Testimony

If you grew up in a Christian home with God-fearing parents–the glory is still His. If you knew Christ at an early age and never really “fell away” or had a period of doubt–the glory is still His. If you find your testimony boring because you never found yourself homeless, addicted to drugs, or in jail–the glory is still His!

If this describes you, know this: your testimony counts. It. Is. Powerful. It is to be shared to the glory of God. Never let anyone, including the enemy, make you think that your testimony is less-than, lame, or not worth sharing.

The power of your testimony lies in the offering of God’s protection.

My testimony is not pretty. Sometimes, I am hesitant to share it, and yet, I know God can use what is hideous, blemished, tarnished, broken, and dejected to bring about His glory. Imagine how much glory He also receives from a story of hope, provision, and protection.

I told the girl I met with that day that I hoped she would never again doubt or hesitate to share what God had done in her life. People need to hear that God not only pulls us out of the mud but also chooses to protect some from ever falling in…

Do you think your testimony is boring or lame or uninteresting? Have you ever hesitated sharing because you don’t have an “amazing conversion” story? Do you think God still receives glory in the “boring”?

And please, don’t hesitate sharing your testimony here, too–the glory is always His.
