Enjoying Your Walk With GodSample

Spread the Joy

As a Christian, one of the most fulfilling things you can do is share your faith with others. When you tell others about Jesus, it blesses them and brings you more enjoyment in your walk with God. Yet why don’t we share our faith more often?

Many Christians find it difficult to share their faith with others. It may be because they are unfamiliar with the process or lack confidence in talking to others. The fear of rejection and judgment can be a powerful deterrent for many believers. In some settings, there is a culture of silence around religion. Erica Stevens had many of those same fears. Yet she stepped out in faith and something amazing happened.

Listening to inspiring stories like this can bring us courage! This kind of transformation brings hope to many people who feel lost, weary, or hopeless. Seeing the incredible power of faith in action can be a great inspiration to us. It brings us joy and inspires us to keep our walk of faith alive and growing. But trying to tell others about Jesus in our own power is not the way to do it. We must invite the Holy Spirit into the conversation. He provides us with words that will touch hearts and minds so that people can come to know Jesus better. By allowing Him to work through us, God’s love is clearly communicated. Cru founder Bill Bright said, "Successful witnessing is sharing Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to God." People's lives will be touched through these Holy Spirit-guided actions. We must live what we say and trust God. People will come into the kingdom which will also help you enjoy your walk with God even more.
