Being Made Bold

Psalm 138

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” Psalm 138:3 – from Mimi, my precious grandmother

On the worst day of my life, I began crying out to God like I never had before.  He has pulled me through some very tough situations throughout my life and every time I cried out to Him I could feel His presence and I could feel Him working.  So I knew, if I cried out to Him that He would carry me. And I was right.  

He not only empowered me with strength to keep breathing and to place one foot in front of the other; but He also empowered my speech.  I was saying things I never thought I knew or had the courage to say.  Just one month after the accident He placed me on a stage in front of hundreds of people to share a message.  He showed me what a platform Facebook is, and now this blog, to write what He puts on my heart.  He has made me bold with strength in my soul.

I am no longer afraid to share what God places on my heart.  There is nothing more important than His Word. NOTHING. He has shown me that it is His love letter to me, to you, to the world.  Why, on earth, would I ever be afraid of sharing it with others?  If it is shared with love, the love the Father has for us – not some self-righteous, only because I have to love – but real love that sees each person He created the way that He sees them, then there is nothing to fear.  We can be bold with strength in our soul because He loves us and wants us and answers when we call!
