I don’t know about you but so many times I have gotten encouragement just from people telling their stories or sharing what they learnt at Church, or in their personal devotion. Similarly, I’ve gotten challenged, encouraged to grow, taught and even rebuked on occasion simply from talking to them about something I’d been thinking about or had learnt in my quiet time or meditation.
It is vital for your growth that you share what you learn with those around you. It could be in a big bold way such as writing a book, blogging, sharing it in your Bible study or prayer group OR something as simple as sharing it with one other person: a friend, colleague, family member, chat buddy – bottom line is: YOU HAVE TO SHARE IT!
Sometimes there are one or two things we misunderstand, miss or find vague until we are engaged in conversation where the other person points out a truth or enlightens us on an angle that clarifies what was previously hanging in the balance.
Often, the word you share might be just what the person ‘needed to hear’ – God could be using you to deliver His word to them and by choosing to keep quiet about it for fear of ‘embarrassment’ ‘ judgement’ or whatever other excuse you come up with for not sharing, you miss out on being a part of God’s work in that person’s life. God’s blessings (His word included) are not meant to stay reservoired (not a real word) but to be channelled through to many others that need it.
We are blessed to be a blessing, so if that word blessed you…you have a responsibility to pass it on and bless somebody else.
