During this challenge, I learned that being prepared to share the gospel makes a huge difference in helping me overcome my fear. I became convicted that, if God’s kingdom is truly my priority, sharing Jesus should be the first thought I think when I meet someone, so I am not caught off guard.
The Lord reminded me of Ephesians 6:15. I realized He wants me to have my “feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace” wherever I go, so I will be ready, willing, and able to share the good news of salvation!
As the week went on and I took time to prepare myself physically, psychologically, and spiritually, God rewarded me with new boldness. What a joy to share Jesus with the lost, and to discover fellow believers along the way! I praise God for His work in my own heart.
“The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands” Psalm 138:8.

Thanks so much for sharing, Tia! What a wonderful reminder that sharing Jesus should be uppermost on our minds in all our relationships. May God bless you with many divine encounters as you witness for Him!

Tia,
Praise the Lord for what He has done in your heart.
Your testimony and Bible verse (Psalm 138:8)was a great encouragement to me.
Keep following Jesus and He will make you a fisher of men!
