I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and game himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
In this verse Paul gives us a great reminder that it is no longer I who live. When we accepted Christ into our life, our old self was wiped away and we became a new creation in Christ. We were given a gift, the Holy Spirit, which came to dwell inside of us. This verse should serve as a constant reminder to us that we are ambassadors for Christ. Whether we are a stay at home mom, a soldier deployed overseas, a teacher, a construction worker, no matter what our occupation we should remember that we have been given a gift that we need to share with the world. My personal challenge is that I would be willing to tell one person this week about the incredible gift that God has given to me. Would you join me in this challenge? Don't be afraid, walk by faith and dependence upon God to give you the words and the courage to tell your story.
Father, help me to not be ashamed of the incredible relationship that I have with you. Please, give me the courage to step out on faith this week and share with one person this amazing gift that You have given to me.
Stepping out on Faith
