The Smallest Words about Christ Are NEVER Wasted!

John Piper, in his book, Finally Alive, tells the following story to illustrate the fact that even our smallest words about Jesus can have a powerful influence on those who do not know Christ.

A young woman told the story as she was joining our church of how Christ saved her. She said that she knew a good bit about Christianity because of her parents but had thrown it all away as a teenager and was on her own. One day she and her friends were walking down the beach as several handsome guys approached. Her thought was to impress them and be thought attractive and cool. As the guys passed, one of them called out, "Praise Jesus!" Now probably later that night those guys said to themselves, "That was a lame witness. Why didn't we stop and talk?" Little did they know that these simple words, "Praise Jesus," pierced her heart and sent her later to her knees and to the Savior. There are no wasted testimonies!" (John Piper, Finally Alive, pp. 183-184).

Keep this in mind as you go through your day. Determine to speak up for Jesus to someone today ... and tomorrow ... and the next day! Remember - no word for Jesus is ever wasted!
