My son told me about something he did in school yesterday that just made me one proud Daddy. He told me about how he told one of his friends that they needed to ask God for forgiveness and ask Jesus into their hearts. He told them that Jesus forgives and that he could take the junk out of their lives. (I'm paraphrashing here, but you get the idea) WOW! That is what I have to say. He is not ashamed of the Gospel and telling other people about Jesus. We told him that he is being bold and we are proud of him for standing up for his faith in God!
The boldness of a child that will stand out and have no fear about telling someone else about Jesus! That makes me take a step back and ask myself "Am I that bold in my faith?" Could I be as bold to tell my friends or coworkers about Jesus and the plan of salvation or would I just let the opportunity go by? Lord help me to be as bold! We should not let our fears about what others will think or say when we step out and share our faith with others. Is that not what Jesus commands us to do? "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" It is the Great Commission, not the "Great Suggestion".
So as I write this, I am a very proud Daddy but also a challenged one...Will you be bold? Will you take a stand and step out and be a witness for Christ no matter what? Lord help me to do that!
