TestimonySharing our own stories from our encounters with God has been a part of Christian life since its beginning; the story of Jesus’ power has meaning as it changes the lives of those who seek to follow him.
Testimony is not coercing others to think just like you do. It is sharing authentically about what you have experienced.
God’s story is written as we live it in our own lives. Stories and testimony let us name that God is a part of who we are. Testimony invites us to add our own life’s stories to the living testament of God’s presence in our world.
Often, we tell others about great new restaurants we’ve found. Testimony gives us a chance to tell others about the faith that delights and sustains us.
Take time, when you are talking with others, to tell them ways that God is involved in your life. Share about times when God’s presence makes a difference to you, or when your faith challenges you to see something differently.
Take time, also, to ask others about how they experience the Divine. Let your stories sit together as testament to a mystery that goes beyond our understanding.
