SHARING THE WORD 4

Psalm 40:8-10 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (9) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. (10) I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
 
WE REFRAIN FROM SHARING
 
"I wish I had said something!"  That is a statement that I have both made and heard so many times that I couldn't begin to count them.  Many opportunities arise for us to witness and we feel that we should but we just keep our mouths shut.
 
Why do we refrain from witnessing to people.  Sometimes we are afraid that we might say something wrong.  If we talk about Jesus and what He has done for us it is hard to be wrong.  That is what witnessing is, giving an eye witness account of what Jesus has done for us in our lives.  It is hard to get that wrong.
 
We might refrain from witnessing because we are afraid that we will offend someone or because we think that we might do more harm than good.  People are certainly going to be offended when they are condemned and realize that you knew how they could be saved and never told them.  As far as being worse off, you can't be much worse off than to be lost and on your way to Hell.
 
Don't refrain from sharing the Love of Jesus with those you come in contact with.  You might be the only messenger they ever encounter.
