Whenever I feel hesitant to share God’s word, I think of these verses.
I remember one time when a Gideon speaker came to our church and told the story of an individual who was on the brink of suicide before he found a Gideon New Testament that someone had tossed on the ground. He opened it, began reading, and soon gave his life to Christ.
A Gideon had handed that New Testament to someone who didn’t want it (or, to be fair, accidentally dropped it), but the Word of God did not return empty; it accomplished what it set out to do and ended up in the hands for which it was intended. The person who dropped it was an instrument in getting it to where it needed to be.
That is so encouraging!
Sometimes it might feel like no one is reading our posts or that our words are falling on deaf ears, but someone is listening. We can rest assured that if we simply obey and share God’s message, it will accomplish the very thing for which the Lord sent it.
Praise God!
