Be a stepping stone to grace
Toby Mac posted a short thought worth sharing with each of you today: " Your story could be the key that unlocks someone else's prison. Don't be afraid to share it ." We all have a story to tell - the very key by which someone could find release from whatever it is they have been bound to for sometimes years and years. It might not seem like much when you first consider sharing it, but don't discount what God can do with even a few honest words. I think this is the power of confession - it not only helps us, but it makes us feel and appear real to others. It makes our humanness apparent - something we Christians seem to have a hard time with on occasion. Brothers and sisters, if someone you know loses his way and rebels against God, pursue him in love and bring him back to the truth. Know this: If you turn a sinner back from the error of his ways, then you will rescue him from the grips of death and cover the pain and consequences of untold sins. (James 5:1
