Seed for Sept 4

We should tell our story every time we get a chance. Paul in the Book of Acts is recorded repeatedly giving his account of his conversion on the road to Damascus. "Let me tell you what happened to me on the way to Damascus". Every one of us should have a story that tells what the Lord has done for us. In this manner we are testifying to the nature of God. Others will be able to relate to what happened to you, and say to themselves "Wow, if He did that for them, what can He do for me?"

We are called to be witnesses. We are to get on the witness stand and tell what we saw and heard. Compare that to Paul's story on the way to Damascus. A witness tells what they saw and heard. Let me tell you what He did for me. I was lost and undone. Bound by drugs and sin, and a slave to my carnal appetites. When I reached the bottom rung of my ladder and found myself in prison and everything of any value taken away from me...I was so low I had only one way to look and that was UP! Then Jesus heard my cry and had mercy on me. Lifted me out of the miry clay and put me on the Rock that was higher than I. With over 30 years in service for the King of Kings, Jesus has never let me down, or left me alone. When all others forsook me, He was there. When no one else would listen, Jesus listened and moved for me. Did He give me everything I asked? NO! But He never let me down, but took me in as His son and led me to peace, joy, and freedom. That is my story of how I was on the road to “destruction” and He heard my cry.
