The Story God Wrote

 

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

 

—1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NLT)

 

Dear God,

 

Let my love for others be so great that I can't help but share Your Good News with them—as I share with them my own life, too.

 

Thank You that, by the power of Your Spirit, You wrote the story of Your plan of salvation on the pages of the Bible—as Good News for all mankind!

 

Thank you that, by the power of Your Spirit and Your Word, You wrote the story of Your plan for my salvation on the pages of my life—as Good News that I should share with everyone that You place within my sphere of influence.

 

Grant me the boldness and courage—motivated only by my love for You and for others—to share this story of the Bible and of my life, giving freely of myself that they, too, might be saved in every way.

 

Let my love for others be so great that I can't help but share Your Good News with them—as I share with them my own life, too.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
