WHY SHARE MY STORY?
At some point, you realized that life wasn’t working out so well when you were running it on your own and you needed help. People can usually run their lives okay when things are going well but when the inevitable problems happen we need help to see another perspective.
Your story may have been extreme and radical, or it might have been a calm profession of true belief. Both depict God’s love and mercy because all (both loud and quiet) have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
When Jesus’ disciples thought back on all He had taught them, they were able to spread Jesus’ Way to more and more people. Remembering their life before Jesus and comparing it to their lives after knowing Jesus spurred them on.
