A Good Harvest

It feels rewarding whenever I get the chance to share my thoughts with people concerning God. I admit that my knowledge is not enough and I am yet to learn a lot to answer all their questions in life. But I trust that the sincerity of my heart gives me the credibility to impart the wisdom I've gained through the years I've walked with Him.
I've always thought that I don't have the talent to speak of His words. I've struggled with myself - I wasn't trained to preach, that's just not my line. I was overwhelmed by fear and doubt about my capabilities - what should I say? how should I respond? will they believe me? And all this time, I was missing the point.
I came to realize it was never about me. I'm not boasting about myself here. I don't take pride in what I know that others don't. I'm sharing God. It's all about Him. And true enough, even I get surprised whenever I am challenged by conversations about God and life. The Word speaks of the truth, "for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." (Matthew 10:20). When you're full of the Holy Spirit, it just overflows. I myself am amazed how words came out of my lips impulsively. You may think you're not capable but our God is a God of wonders. If God can use a donkey to speak of the truth then why can't He use you?
It is worthy to continue growing and advancing in our knowledge of God. But everything will be in vain if we just keep it to ourselves. We should learn to halt for a moment and listen to the world. There's a lot of wandering souls seeking for truth. Didn't Jesus say “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” (Mark 4:9)? Let's not be selfish. Let down all your hesitations and learn to share God!
Some people will pay attention but don't expect everyone to listen. Some will believe, others will question. But don't ever lose courage. Don't ever despise small beginnings. Keep on planting the seeds and pray for a good harvest. And before you know it, you just won another soul. Another prodigal child was reunited with the Father. One of those seeds you planted has just grown into a fine resilient tree.
