A Crowned Thorn

What is the value of a thorn in our Christian journey? First, we must identify what a thorn is. According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions. Thorns come to challenge and to strengthen your faith, your character, and your witness as a child of God. Thorns are the mechanism from which you gain more than you lose. Thorns are the pathway to reaching higher heights and deeper depths of sanctification and glory. With each thorn that attaches itself to your life, you become more and more like Christ. You become an overcomer of the thing that came to irritate or to disrupt your growth, but it, in turn, propels you into greater achievement in holy livi...

Did you know that someone needs what you possess?  Did you know that you hold the link of hope and the hand of comfort someone is seeking in this hour of change and uncertainty? There is a demand, a proverbial call out for you to share your story, your testimony, your wisdom of victory and perseverance and not just in the walls of the sanctuary but to those within your inner circle. 

We often fail to realize through the lessons gained along the way the magnitude of healing and strength dwelling on the inside. Due to our faithful living walking alongside with God we have come to discover the truth of God. The more we walk and labour with Him the more of Him is being revealed in us and through us. This wealth of knowledge is needed not only for our personal growth but to build up other soldiers in the kingdom but we are often challenged to believe that what we have seen and what we have labored with is of any benefit to someone else. But we are reminded and encouraged that in the sharing of our stories of challenge and triumph we build strength, courage, and faith in ourselves and in each other.

In the telling of our stories we are empowered to believe in God by what God has done through and in our lives but we must be willing to share and walk life out with others through our testimonies of life, struggle and victory in Christ. No one can tell our story like we can and no one can profit from what we've learned and endured if it's not spoken. No one can tell the true cost and pains we've endured and no one can quite tell our story of the abundant joy and deliverance we have felt at the hand of God in our life.  We must strive to share in our strength of our conviction, committing to teach each other and empower each other through the word of our testimonies. We don't walk the same life but we are connected by the same God.  If we would be more willing to not hide our stories more people would thrive and shine in theirs.  We are meant to be helpers of one another and someone is in need of you and what you have gone through to build them, to fortify them to fight on and to press on to believe on things that have yet to be in their lives. 

So, your on call and desperately needed to shine into the dark spaces of peoples journeys by shedding the light on what the God of salvation has done in your life.  So shine and shine brightly so those that seek to find the answers and support they need can be found in the light of you! You hold the key and its in the power of your testimony so don't hide it shine the light of the Lord to any who will hear for the benefit of us all!

Journal Prompt
