Bold
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2
I, along with some of my extended family, met a man this week who was working on a water leak in our campsite. While we were asking about the repair time, this man boldly asked if he could share a word with us, and we were like, sure. He proceeded to quote John 3:16 and then moved to Romans 5:1. This man's story is an interesting one of drug addiction and being reborn through the love of Jesus Christ. It wasn't his story of being saved by God that interested me the most, but of his true boldness to share the gospel, and be willing to answer questions of his path to where he is today. I reflected a lot on his boldness and wished that I could be as bold as he was with us. For some reason, I am not bold but timid when it comes to sharing my story. I always hope my Friday messages reach people, but I further hope that I can be as bold as this man was to us to other people in the future.
Have a great weekend.
