Sunday, June 05, 2005 Speaking out for the Lord.Oh my goodness! I will promise to try - but as I said, the type of people I know and spend time with (especially in the christian department) are not at all into lists and blogs and even emails much.In our church, we have home worship/sharing meetings every Sunday morning. Last week, our two young sons (aged 14 and 9) made an outward choice (the inward having been done quite some time ago) to give their lives to Jesus/God. This means that now, they may, if inspired, become a vocal part of the little home meeting each Sunday. They can pray a short prayer aloud and then share a thought from the scripture and/or their hearts which has helped them at some stage during the past week. I thought of them this morning, (Sunday) as they quaked in their boots preparing their minds to to (bravely) pray and speak publicly. Many would say, Those POOR little things, this is too hard and they shouldn't need to. I too have those thoughts. However, it came very clearly to me this morning, that these little hearts LOVE the Lord GOD and Love Jesus Christ. And God will be wish to use them to help Him help others, and want them to spend their lives glorifying Him. And so, to be encouraged to speak aloud and pray aloud about the Lord, is actually teaching them to be unafraid to speak about the Lord. To speak about what is in their hearts relating to the Lord! One hears christians often say they "want to be a shining light". Yes, a light doesn't need to make a sound! However, there are times when a person does need to speak for the Lord, to assist others and to glorify God. So, I felt what these kids are doing, and being encouraged to do, is actually one way in helping them to speak out and openly of their hearts feelings for the Lord. To serve God from ones youth is a privilege. Carol # posted by Caroline @ 11:09 am 0 comments
