From Talents To Testimonies
From Talents to Testimonies: Reflect God’s Light
My favorite ministry ever was at a former church we belonged to when we first moved to Texas.
The ministry was called “Outside These Walls.”
A group of us would volunteer on the weekends to sing gospel and country songs to the residents of nursing homes around town. My husband would bring along his guitar to accompany us.
The joy expressed on the faces of the elderly residents was a priceless memory.
Don’t you love bringing joy to other people?
What a fantastic way to share love with these precious senior adults who often feel isolated from the outside world.
Singing is just one idea.
From talents to testimonies – sharing your spiritual abilities and stories help to reflect God’s glory to the world.
I read a poem recently that encourages all of us to do the same in our own spiritual walks.
Arise, Woman Of God
Rise up, O woman of God
In what He has given you,
The things God has laid on your heart,
Rise up, go forth, and do
Unlock what God has placed within,
The potential you have inside
The world is waiting for your release
To expand your wings and fly
Arise in your God-given gifts
For this is your finest hour
Arise in the Lord’s holy might,
Ignited and empowered
For God is calling you to come forth
To impact this world for Him,
Don’t hold back or limit yourself
Let His power arise within
And take His message to the world
To those that have lost their way,
For you can surely make a difference
If you’d hear His voice and obey
You shall be strengthened in the Lord
As you begin to arise,
Conquering those doubts that pull you down
And believe who you are in Christ
For you shall surely be transformed
As, in you, God increases more
And become a woman of true excellence
Bringing honour to her Lord.
