I work for a Faith-Base Organization so we are able to have daily devotionals before the work day starts. This is one perk that I appreciate.
I actually do devos one day awake. I always try to challenge to share something about my life to hopefully impact others peoples life with what God has done in my life.
A few months ago at church, our leader challenged us by asking “Do you share your conversion story with friends, family, and co-workers?”
That question impacted me. I had worked at this job for over 2 years and have never shared my conversion story. So I decided for my next devo I was going to share my conversion story.
I shared all the gory details about cheating on BG, living with Dennis not being married and being in an unhealthy relationship. I get done connecting the dots and asked if anyone had anything to say or comment. NOTHING. Nada, not a peep.
That is always hard to not get any response. Especially when it is something so personal. I tried not to let it bother me. I know that GOD challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone. And that is exactly what I did.
I started my day working. Midway through the day one of the linen guys came onto my unit to get the linen. I saw him in the hall and he said “That was interesting what you said. I would never imagine you to cheat on someone”
At first, I kinda took offense. Of all the things you got from that you want to bring up the fact that I cheated on my husband. But then I had an AHA moment. He was right I am not a person that would cheat on my husband NOW. But the person I was over 23 years ago would cheat on her husband.
So I use that opportunity to say “You are right I am not a person that would cheat on my husband Now. But the person I was then would do that. God has really changed me to be a more Godly woman”
When we become a Christian there should be a distinct difference between who we were and who we are now. So that is my challenge to you. Do you blend into your old self or is there such a drastic change that people can tell?
To GOD Be The Glory.
