Boldness in Christ

As I met with the Lord this morning @ Jumpin Jacks coffee shop, God coninues to show me areas in my life where I don't lean on him for strength and boldness to fulfill his mission. In Acts 3 and 4, Paul and John show the extreme faith they had by walking past a cripple and seeing a need that only Christ can fix. Everyday I wonder about the people in my life when I didn't take time to realize the need of Christ in their life. As Matt Ballard said so vividly....I am withholding life from them and this is not what the Lord wants for my life. I am encouraged by Paul time and time again when he rejoices in his sufferings to the point of being stoned for his obediance to Christ and then picking up himself and doing it again. I pray that my life would be a image of this to those around me. I want people around me to know that they have been with Christ. Amen
