Your Stories: Knowing Where to Turn

Sharing your testimony isn't always easy, but some of you have great stories to tell. Here is one with some great advice for all:

"I have grown up in a christian home, so I guess i have always been around people that know God. I gave my life to Jesus when I was eight, but when I was about eleven years old I had a downfall. I didn't know who was who and what was what, and I was really confused about the whole Christian living thing. Anyway, I was too ashamed to talk to my parents, so I talked to one of my older friends at church, and they gave me some advice...to get a devotion book. It really helped with all those hard questions you have, and there are so many you will be able to find one that will fit you like a glove."

The testimony has a couple important lessons. First, no time is too difficult for God, and we need to find ways to seek Him. Second, God has a way of giving us the resources we need. In this case it was an older friend at church that could provide advice and support and a devotional. Both are great ways to get Godly and practical advice on how to live like a Christian in today's world while also growing your relationship with God. Still resources can be as simple as a Bible, friend, teacher, leader, pastor, or even your parents. Stop and pray for God to reveal what you need in your life to help you in your Christian walk.
