Share: My Word and Verse For the Year
/
It has been several years since I have made any New Year's resolutions. If you are one who makes them, I hope you stick with them. I’d rather focus on a word and verse for a year.
When I stopped making resolutions, I began choosing a Bible verse to focus on for the year. Although, I don't write about it every year because sometimes it is a personal thing for me, but I do focus on one and try to apply it to my life. The verse I chose to focus on this year came to me through a Bible study I am doing with some local ladies. This year that verse will be Mark 16:15 along with this verse I am adding a word to work on. I've seen other people talk about a word for the year for several years and this year, I chose one. It goes along with Mark 16:15, you can probably guess what it is.
I grew up hearing sermons preached on sharing the Gospel with those around us. It's not a new thing for me, but is it something I need to work on more.
Salvation is the most valuable gift anyone could be given. Many will not get a chance to hear about Jesus and what he did for them, we fail those people by not speaking up. Seriously, what is the worst that can happen? We are told to go away, they are not interested or we possibly lose a friend. I think it is better to take a chance on losing a friend now than to lose them for eternity. When we (try to) talk to these people about Jesus, we complete a responsibility and the Lord will do the rest.

This year, I am focusing on sharing the
Gospel more with those I come in contact with. Will you join me?
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
