Don’t stifle yourself
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” – JOHN 14:6
Whether you’ve seen the television show “All in the Family” or not, you’re probably familiar with Archie Bunker’s catchphrase to his overly talkative wife, Edith: STIFLE YOURSELF! Stifling may be good for some situations, but never in the case of your heart or your witness. And we stifle both when we try to stay quiet about our faith.
Listen, the world is starving for truth, but looking in all the wrong places. In fact, you will probably come across someone this very day who has lost their way in life and needs to hear the true Truth of God. If you know Christ, then you know the Truth, because He is the Truth. So don’t stifle yourself. Follow His lead and speak the truth in love. Someone is waiting to hear from you.
