"The Lord needs men and women who can talk with confidence about what they believe." Sheri Dew
I am starting to realize our testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not meant to be kept bottled up inside of us. The church wouldn't send millions of men and women out on missions to preach the Gospel if that were the case, now would they? The Gospel of Jesus Christ is real. Our Father in Heaven is real. Our Savior is real. Their existence is not superficial. It's not just hopeful thoughts and imaginations of our souls to have a greater and more powerful God that stands above us all. HE LIVES. He is our magnificent and most gentle Father in Heaven who watches over all His children and has provided a Savior for us that we may always be worthy to stand in His presence and stay in constant communication with Him. Peace is found IN Him.
Satan would want us to stay quiet. He would want us to keep it bottled up. He knows that once we find the TRUTH we have the power to spread the Light of Christ to more and more of our Father's children. And that, well that TERRIFIES him. I can just see him begin to pace back and forth quickly trying to muster up a masterful plan to not only break us down and try to cause us to lose our testimony, but also to scare us into not spreading our knowledge to others. We cant let him win.
"Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;" (Doctrine and Covenants 4:3)
We've heard it many times before, but we really don't have to be set apart and called as an official "missionary" for the church to be a missionary for our Father in Heaven. It's not always the ones who share their testimony vocally by which others come to know their Father in Heaven either. It can be, but not always. Sometimes it's simply by us just being our self and loving those around us. What I am saying is however we choose to show we know who we are and Whose we are is how He intended it to be. We were designed perfectly by a perfect Father in Heaven. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses, and if we let Him, and if we listen and consistently try to do His will He will use us as His instruments to lead others to Him.
