Testimony??

In John 9, we read of the story of Jesus encountering a man who had been blind from birth.  He spat on the ground, made a mud and covered the blind man's eyes.  He then instructed the man to go wash himself in the pool of Siloam.  The man did as he was instructed and, once washed, he could see.  his eyes were opened.

Wow!  What a testimony this man had to tell.  In verse 11, we see that he did, indeed, start telling people how his sight had been restored.  Not only was his physical sight restored, but his spiritual sight had also been restored through this miracle.

Now, we don't have this kind of testimony to give - obviously.  But, many of us have had "awakening" experiences.  To give your testimony, you don't have to have an elaborate story - just relate to others how your spiritual sight has been restored. 

Perhaps many people do not "testify" for Jesus because they feel they don't have an awesome story to tell.  Maybe they think that the way God opened their spiritual eyes is not spectacular enough that anyone will listen.  Again, it does not have to be a spectacular story. 

Our lives can be the most powerful testimony we could ever give.  If we strive to live within God's will and make him foremost in our lives, others will see the change in us - they will be able to see Jesus in our lives.  This, in itself, is a very powerful testimony.

Be sure that you are walking the path God has planned for you to walk.  Be kind and considerate to others - treat others the way Jesus would have treated them.  If you get a chance, tell others how God has moved in your life.

Remember - you may be the only "Jesus" someone sees.
