I know a lot of people who are in troubled marriages, and they feel as if they have to wait until their marriage situation is resolved before they can talk about it. But more people live in the tension than live in the extremes. When people are willing to share their struggles, they can help others who are living under that same burden.
If you’re like me, the testimonies you find the most inspiring aren’t those that are easy, comfortable and happy all the way through. It’s the testimonies of those who have struggled deeply and found God faithful even in the midst of their brokenness.
Truths You Can’t Live Without
God can use your story, whatever it is, for the salvation of the nations. I say that, not even knowing what your story is, because that is a principle that comes from the Bible. People hear about the gospel from those who are living out the gospel. They are redeemed when we point them to the Redeemer. They can be saved when those of us who are saved point to the Savior.
What trial is God bringing into your life for the purpose of equipping you to do his work? What trials are you going through right now that God is using to equip you for future ministry?
God wants to use your story for the salvation of the nations. Not because of the greatness of your story but because of the greatness of our God.
