What Does Your Witness Look Like?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what my witness looks like. I don’t think I’ve put much thought into it before because I have felt like most of my life the people I was around, the majority of the time, just knew who I was and what I was about. That isn’t the case anymore.

I’m surrounded by new and wonderful people every day. Some of them know the love of Jesus and some of them don’t. Neither position makes one group better than the other. Both sets still require me to shine the light of Jesus.  

So because of that, I’ve been trying to figure out what my witness looks like. Some people’s witness comes in the form of words. Beautiful, comforting words of life and therefore people see the love of the Lord through those words. Some people’s witness takes form in their actions. They can care for and love on people in a way that leave no doubt that Jesus was present. Some people’s witness manifest itself in silence and compassion and they  just leave a mark on the hearts of the people they are around.

I’m not sure what mine looks like.  I'm not sure it really even matters ... I just pray that I have one. I pray that I am planting seeds. It’s not my job to change someone, that’s the Lord’s work. I just hope that the seeds I am planting are those of love and hope. I want the world to see what joy comes from knowing Jesus Christ.
