IT IS IMPORTANT

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;”

Psalms 107:2 KJV

It is important that we give our testimonies not only because the Bible instructs us to do so but also because it helps other people.  When I first felt the call to write devotions, I was very reluctant because at that time I didn’t think I could do it.  What helped me start writing is what I heard in Sunday school.

Many years ago, my Sunday school teacher was my pastor’s wife.  One Sunday she shared with us that she had emotional problems in the past.  I thought if she can teach Sunday school, maybe I can write devotions so I prayed about it and asked God to help me and He has been faithful to help me.

We need to give our testimony.  There have been several testimonies that I heard that have encouraged me and helped me.  One man said “I am saved today because of my mother.  I saw her kneel beside her bed and heard her pray every day for me to be saved until I asked Jesus into my heart”.

Thank God for praying mothers who don’t give up on their children and keep trusting God.  What about you?  Have you given your testimony lately?  Have your spouse and your children heard your testimony?  We need to set a good example for our children by being faithful to give our testimony.

Not only do we help others by giving our testimony, it makes Jesus happy.  Making Jesus happy should be the desire of every Christian.  Jesus should be first in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do.  Does Jesus have first place in your heart?  If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
