You may have heard Christians use
the term, "personal testimony," but not be
certain what that is. Our testimony is our personal story about how God made
a difference in our lives. A young street thug seemingly destined to a life of
crime may share a story of how a conversation with a street preacher helped
encourage him to a new course in life. Rather than steal purses and pick
pockets,
he now gives back to the community by feeding the hungry in a local soup
kitchen.
Another Christian's personal testimony might be a sharing of her past
drug use, and how God's love helped her break free from her addiction.
Even those of us who may have been raised in the faith may still have stories
of periods in our lives when we may have drifted from the Lord. At such
times, God's mercy helped turn weakness into strength, lack of wisdom
into understanding and a renewed closeness with Him resulted.
When a Christian shares their personal testimony, it is not because they are
bragging or proud of their past life, but rather we want others to know that if
God helped us, He can also help you.
No human is perfect, for we all have sinned.
If God is reaching His hand out to you, take hold, seek His better way, and
let YOUR testimony make a positive difference in someone else's life today!
