Devotions; Defeating the Destroyer

Day 143

I have a hard time sharing and showing my faith to other people. I can write about it because when I write I can go back and check over what I've written and I'm not worried about hurting anyone's feelings or pushing them away from God. Occasionally I do have thoughts like that but not often. I can have a conversation with someone about Christianity especially if someone else starts it. But I have a hard time letting people see some of the more deep parts of my faith. I had to pray in front of my church today, which is only like 150 people, and I was extremely scared and nervous. I have a hard time going up to pray tails and using them because it feels unnatural to pray in front of others. However after I do those things I feel a deeper bond with God. You can't keep your faith all to yourself you need to show others and help them on their walk with God. But more importantly you shouldn't be afraid to let others see you love God, you don't hide your relationships with the people in your life so you shouldn't hide your relationship with God. There are different levels of this and not everyone needs to stand up in front of a thousand people and tell them about their relationship with God. Some people can do that but that isn't for everyone, but everyone needs to share their faith at some level.
