“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart, I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” (Psalm 9:1 NIV)
Why is it hard sometimes for us to tell of all the wondrous deeds God has done for us? We question if telling is boasting. But I think it’s not. When we share with others how God’s love has touched our hearts, how His forgiveness has healed our souls and minds, when we share how God has blessed us with loved ones we give Him honor and glory.
We shouldn’t hesitate to share how God has touched us, healed us, loved you and blessed us. We never know how others will react or respond, but that isn’t really our concern. They may be bothered, they may be touched, that is for God to know. If we give thanks and praise in a way that does not cause discomfort to others but moves them we have honored and glorified God. If we share with grateful hearts of love we will be blessed when we least expect it. We need to stop hesitating and start sharing when and where appropriate. If we pray before we share, the Holy Spirit will guide our words and they will bring blessing and encouragement. So let’s share, give thanks, and praise God when the Spirit moves us to do so.
