It is impossible for a person not to be puffed up by his good works unless he has first been deflated and destroyed by suffering and evil to the point that he knows that he is worthless and that his works are not his but God’s.

Anonymous replied January 14, 2009 11:09 PM You know, I love my God, but am embarassed about myself as far as knowing how to relate, with him and with others', about him.
LadyDi replied January 14, 2009 11:47 PM You're experiencing something that many people unfortunately find to be a problem. I have many thoughts about it, but they might be too lengthy and inappropriate for this sight. My suggestion would be to pray about it reguarly and to counsel with your minister or another believer that seems better able to witness. For some it comes easy, but, because we are all so different and at varying places in our walk with Christ, for others it is definitely something to work on and attain. Remember that it doesn't take any special speaking ability, just the ability to relate what you feel straight from your heart. Flowery speech is not what is needed. The way we live our lives in front of others is really the best witness of all.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
LadyDi replied January 18, 2009 1:46 PM I really love that one. This is something I firmly believe and try to live by. I think that mentality (feeling small and insignifcant) cause people not to reach out and help - to volunteer. But we all have something to give, and it does all add up. If we all felt that way, nothing would ever get done. (OK. Off my soapbox. Sorry.)
