What does it mean to witness?

Do you ever have days where you don't really want to see anyone and would like to hibernate in a warm room and read or veg? Cold winter days make considering this even more likely, for me. It was very cold at camp today and the wind whistled across the grounds. Even on days like this God calls us to bring the warmth of his love to those around us. He expects us to celebrate the beauty of his creation and appreciate every moment we have in worship.

I don't think his call means we have to be happy all the time. Even bad days are a witness to those around you if you are living the bad days for the Lord. Christians shouldn't pretend to be perfect because we will only be seen as hypocritical. We have to be real with the world. Being real and living or lives in dependence on the Lord, admitting mistakes, asking forgiveness, and trying to always be like Jesus is what it means to witness.

So tomorrow try to be a true witness for the Lord by living your life in a real way. Encourage those around you to admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Show how life's experiences help you to become a stronger disciple.
