Yesterday, I was on the airplane on our way back from our honeymoon in Cancun, I felt God telling me to talk to the man sitting next to me. I had a feeling he wasn’t going to speak any English and my Spanish isn’t the greatest but I could feel God presence encouraging me to “be Bold and Courageous and ask the man if he knows Jesus Christ.”
So, I did. I took a deep breath and asked God to guide this conversation, not knowing where it was going to go and I asked the man in Spanish, “¿Conoces a Jesús Cristo?” The man looked at me and paused and said in Spanish I know of him but do not know him. We talked for about 30 minutes about God and having a personal relationship with him out of love not by force or by religion but just out of love and friendship. It was a great conversation, I later found out this man’s name was Jesús.
Now, I don’t know what this man was left thinking after our conversation only God does. But the point of this matter is, if we don’t act in Boldness and with Courage, how do we expect people or circumstances to change? God called us so that he can use us. You will not be used if you don’t step out of your comfort zone.
So if you desire change at work, in your home, or a relationship, be courageous and ask God to direct your words so that you can speak up. Because when you are quiet nobody will hear you. You will be useless and no change or growth will come out of you. And I know the last thing you want is to live with regret in your life, wishing and hoping you would of…..
God always encourages us to out to walk in Faith. He also encourage us to be Bold and Courageous. He mentions that many times in the bible. In the book of John 16:33, Jesus says “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. Be Courageous! I have overcome the world.”
It is true what Jesus says, that we will have trouble in life. Some days will be amazingly awesome, while others are just horrible. You must understand that this is part of life but that you aren’t walking alone, unless you choose to.
So think about it right now, what is God telling you?
