This is something I am really working on as of late.
Being strong and bold for God and His word and His truth.
I know God wants a strong people.
But I have been ever so timid mostly.
For one thing i have a quite nature.
But for another I have just been plain timid to speak up and make my thoughts known when it is so different than whats around me.
I have never wanted to offend or hurt anyone.
I have kept quiet in cases that I could have had an opportunity to share God's wonderful truths on different issues.
And i feel so bad about it now.
I am praying that God gives me these opportunities again to speak and be a light for Him.
I have something so wonderful to share, so why should I feel like i need to keep quiet.
Why do i have to worry about offending someone by sharing God's truth.
Nope, no more!
I am going to be as bold, and fearless as ever!
I am standing on God's word and I am sharing it with others!!
I so understand where you are coming from. I, too, would prefer to stay in my four walls and not talk to anyone. But lately, YHVH is asking me to help His people keep climbing that faith mountain. And it is sooo hard. But He reminds me of Elihu. (Job 33-34) He was the youngest of Job's friends. He stayed quiet, but finally spoke up, and YHVH used him to bring Job to repentance and blessing again. What if he had remained quiet? The book of Job would have ended very differently. I try to remember that even though I'm young, etc., He can use me to speak truth, and help someone else in their walk. Keep on keeping on!

That is so intresting about Eliha and Job. I will have to read that area. Thanks for sharing it.
we do not know who all around us could be so strengthen if they would see our boldness in our stand! We can give others strenght to stand with our boldness in the Lord!
Thanks again!!!
