“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” Mark 16:15

Sharing your personal testimony, over time, should become easier.

Your story should focus on how God has changed your life.

Your joy and enthusiasm are significant elements.

Talk about how God transformed your life.

Explain how he became your motivation for living.

Tell about his love and promises, and what they mean to you.

Underscore how Jesus promised never to leave you or forsake you.

And how he will take you to heaven someday when life is done.

Remember, friend, the best testimony is a Christ-centered one.

Share your faith and help others share theirs,


Read: Ezekiel 36:25-28


The Lord wants to give each of us a “heart of flesh” so that we will be pliable and responsive to Him. When touched by the finger of God, a tender heart yields to the pressure and assumes the form He desires, much like a lump of clay that allows the potter to determine the shape of the vessel.

To aid in this process, God has sent the Holy Spirit to indwell each believer and awaken responsiveness in him or her. By yielding to the Spirit’s promptings with ready obedience, the heart becomes increasingly tender and sensitive to His leading. The Lord is able to impart greater understanding of His Word to a soft heart because it has faithfully accepted and obeyed previous teachings.

Any resistance to God will result in hardening. But those who are accustomed to intimacy with Christ—which is the result of submission to Him—will be quick to deal with sin and return to the place of obedience and blessing.

People with tender hearts stay closely connected to the body of Christ, seeking to build up and encourage others in their walk of faith. Such individuals are not only receptive to what God wants to tell them; they are also teachable, in that they are willing to listen and be corrected by others.

This week when you read your Bible and pray, let your heart be soft toward the words of God. As He pokes His finger into each hard area, listen to His instructions, and rely on the Spirit’s power to help you yield and obey. Let Him shape you into a beautiful and useful vessel.
