Life

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24, NIV

As a Christian how you live daily is a testimony to what you believe about God. Going to church once a week for a couple of hours is merely a tiny drop in the big bucket of life. You live your testimony for Christ 24/7. You live your testimony when another car cuts sharply in front of you without signaling their intentions when you are driving your children to school. You live your testimony when your co-worker gets the promotion you wanted. You live your testimony when your above-average-child brings home a far-below-average report card. Yes, you live your testimony on the go—through the ins and outs and ups and downs of daily life.

Our actions as well as our reactions give others snapshots into our lives as to what we hold dear, what we believe to be true, what we value the most, and whether or not we are true to our convictions. What does your testimony say to others about what you believe?
