Have you been afraid sharing your salvation testimony in
front of a crowd? I did. Wish I could say that I’m not because it is not for my
sake that God gave me that chance, but for His name to be glorified. Like now,
I’m risking vulnerability whenever I share my testimony. It is easy to honor
God for His provisions, His help in times of trouble, and His sanctifying work
in us. However, there’s the tendency to sulk when it is our turn to share how God
saved us. And you know why. We put ourselves in a very uncomfortable and
awkward position. Our faults and shame are exposed. When we start to speak of
it, we destroy the high expectations of those who think much of us. There’s the
risk of being judged, and painful as it may sound, there’s the possibility of
desertion by some of our friends. What then? It’s the Holy Spirit that leads
the heart and mouth. When He’s at work in us, we can’t make our testimony to sound
a bit plausible or sensational. He will get the praise, not us. One thing is
for certain though. That there’s the shrinking of ourselves and Him magnified. So
be it. He is worthy.
